Wiki Wonder

I've created a new venture for us on the Wiki. Instead of posting and remarking, you are going to CREATE some written material we can all share and possibly, publish for the community:) So, head to beckysbloggers.pbwiki,com, read the front page and find the Teen Folder on the right side. Then, inside that folder, open up the page with your name on it. In that, WRITE. Decide what message you want to send readers about learning about teens and how you can achieve that. What stories will you tell? What advice can you give? This is something that should have revisions and additions as the week goes on. The Wiki saves all versions of what you write, but you have to press SAVE in order to do so. Remember, at the top of the Wiki page is a VIEW button and an EDIT button. You must be in EDIT in order to change things.

Below, is the note I wrote on the Wiki.

Good morning,

Today we are going to try something new. Not only are Wiki's a great place for collaborating about work, like I wanted you to do with your artwork, but they are a super place to write something together. So, we are going to write a book/manual about teens today. What should educators and adults understand about you? How can you make that information compelling and reader-friendly? I've created a folder for each of you to write in. Over the next week, please write each day. You will create your own chapter! Exciting!
