Navigating wikispaces

This assignment will give you the basics on creating wiki pages, we will cover the additional features on an as needed basis. Feel free to explore further on your own, such as using different text and colors. Always remember to save your work. You can always get help through the help link, located at the top, or youtube has many tutorial videos- just do a search on **wikispaces**. Or of course e-mail me or leave a question on the home page discussion link.

1. Answer the question under the discussion link on the home page - **due 9/9/10**

2. Change either the color or Theme of your page - **due 9/9/10**
 * To change your wiki's colors or theme, click on **Manage Wiki** then **Look and Feel**.

3. Create a Biography page. Some things you may want to include: Name (first only), family, hobbies, job, goals. Just explain who are you and what is important to you.
 * Create a new page titled Bio & enter basic information about yourself (do not use your last name). - **due 9/13/10**

Go into edit mode, then select **file**, enter the name where you have your picture stored, then **upload** & select. (these steps also work if you wanted to add a powerpoint or word document)
 * Add a picture to the page - it can be of you or one you have downloaded from the internet (no copyrighted images though) - **due 9/16/10**

For example you can link to your favorite (school appropriate) video on youtube. Go into edit mode, then select **link**, then **external link**, then give your link a name (under link text) and enter the URL address.
 * Add an external link to the page - **due 9/16/10**

Go to your youtube video and under the video you will see a "button" that says ** ** click this and a code will come in a box, copy that for the next step. In your wiki, go into edit mode, then select **widget**, then **other HTML**, in the box you will insert the embed code which you got from the video.
 * Now I want you to take that same video and embed it in the page so you can see the difference. **due 9/20/10**

Go into edit mode, then select **link**, under the **wiki link** tab name the link Home, then choose the page name you are linking to (in this case home)
 * Lastly create a link from your Bio page to the home page - this is an internal link. **due 9/20/10**

Great, with the basics done now the fun begins. Let's start learning some chemistry and physics!
