How+to+Post+on+the+Wiki



A wiki is a webpage that students can edit and comment on. This year your student will be using the wiki in class as well as at home. Students will have weekly wiki assignments for homework. Mrs. Sweet and Miss James will be taking turns giving wiki assignments. Mrs. Sweet’s Wiki: www.sweetb5.wikispaces.com Miss James’ Wiki: www.b3missjames.wikispaces.com/

To Post on the Wiki for Homework 1. Go to the website and log in. Your username and password is in your Student Planner. 2. Click on the Wiki Assignments link on the right hand side. 3. Click on the link to the week’s assignment. Ex. Acrostic Poems 4. Click on the Discussion Tab located in the top right corner. If the Discussion Tab isn’t showing, you need to click on the first grey box at the very top of the page. 5. Click on the blue New Post button. 6. Give your post a title and type your wiki response. 7. Press Post.

Suggestions We suggest that you type your responses to wiki assignments in your Google Drive Account first. This way you can use spell check and you can work on the assignment over several days. You cannot save work on the wiki. Once you start a post on the wiki, you must finish it that day.

To copy the work from your Google Drive account, highlight everything or you can click Edit, Select All. Then, hold down Control and press C at the same time. Then, once you have clicked on New Post, hold down Control and press V at the same time to paste your work onto the wiki.

We spent a week practicing posting on the wiki. However, if your student is still having trouble doing it, please let us know and we can work with them at school.
