= = =Wikispace setup= A Wiki is a web page (or a collection of web pages) that anyone can edit right in their browser. Some wikis even allow you to restrict who can edit, or who can even see certain pages. Most of us are familiar with the Wikipedia which is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but you can also create and edit your own wikis.

We've done a run-through of wikipsaces in class. If you haven't figured it out or would like more information about this learning environment, watch the video tour [|here.]We will learn more about wiki as the course progresses, right now we will only focus on the technical part of wiki and make sure we know how to use it in this class.

Also, click on your name at the top right of the page, select the Settings tab, change your User Name to your First.Last name (e.g., Tintin Luo)

Under profile, click Change Picture and upload a photo of yourself ** so that classmates can easily identify you. Make the file name of this photo OhioIDprofile (e.g.,tl303308profile).

= Wordpress/Blog setup =

In this class we are using a multi-contributor Wordpress blog to post our weekly blog entries. You can find our blog [|here] I will invite all of you as authors of this blog. Make sure you accept the invitation and register a wordpress account if you don't have.

=Glog=  How to use Glog: In online classroom, you can use it in the beginning of the class as an ice-breaker to have your students get to know each other by making glogs. Also, it’s a good presentation tool. You may ask your students to do research on certain topics and present what they find out in a Glog. Texts, graphic, audio, videos- all multimedia can be supported in one Glog. Think creatively!
