Wikis - a useful tool for students (or anyone) to collaborate




This short YouTube video explains the basics of what a "wiki" is (why and how we use it).   It is one of the best introductions.  The speaker speaks very quickly, so you may want to select "cc" (close caption)  in the bottom right corner of the video so you can read as you listen.

You can also read this short introduction (if you want).





I have created a wiki for AP5 using PBWorks (you can log-in here or through D2L).  You have all been invited (an e-mail has been sent to you) and are official editors for this wiki space.    Within this wiki, which I haven't done much at all with,   there are files and pages for the 5 AP5 groups, where you can collaborate.  This would be a good place to work digitally together on your group argumentative essay.      The wiki is an optional part of this course, but one that along with blogs you may find to be extremely beneficial.


Here is a short video I have made using Jing and Screencast that shows you our AP5 wiki and how to navigate and use it.
