Setup

SETTING UP ACCOUNTS FOR WIKI PROJECT: To do this project online and contribute to the class Wiki, you will need to set up an account on www.wikispaces.com (the website that is hosting our wiki) and on [|www.delicious.com]. Wikispaces.com allows us to create our own Wikipedia – except ours is better, because only members of Mr. C’s classes can edit content, instead of anyone who wants to. Delicious.com is a social networking site similar to Facebook or Myspace – except instead of sharing information and pictures, you will be sharing links and web addresses. Delicious.com will serve as the “works cited” page for this research project.

Setting up a Wikispaces account: Setting up a Delicious account:
 * 1) Go to www.wikispaces.com
 * 2) On the right side of the screen, you need to enter a username. Your username should be your first name last initial, with a number on the end if your first name last initial is already taken. Example: My username would me mikec, or mikec7.
 * 3) You need to enter a password. The password is to protect your account, I do not need to know it. If you must, write it down so that you do not forget it!
 * 4) You need to enter your email address. If you do not have one, use your parent’s.
 * 5) Click “Get Started”
 * 6) Once you’ve clicked “Get Started” you will be taken to a new page. Do not create a Wiki on this page – you’re joining mine, not making your own. At the top of the screen, click on My Wikis.
 * 7) That should bring up a box that says “Find A Wiki.” In that box, type “actionsciencelab” (without spaces) and click the result that the search brings up.
 * 8) On the left side of the Action Science Lab wiki is a link that says “Join this wiki.” Click it.
 * 9) After clicking Join This Wiki, a new page will pop up. Click the button that says “Submit Request.”
 * 1) Go to [|www.delicious.com]
 * 2) Click the green “Join Now” button at the top right of your screen.
 * 3) On the Enter Details screen, enter your name, email address (the same one as above), a username (the same username that you used for Wikispaces), create a password (must have at least 1 number in it), type the security word in the box, and click on the checkbox that says “I have read and agree to the terms of service.” Click Submit.
 * 4) On the next screen, click “Skip Step 2”
 * 5) On the Registration Complete screen, click People at the top of the screen.
 * 6) Click “add user to network”
 * 7) In the box that pops up, type in “mcarpenter48”
 * 8) Click “Add” and you’re finished!
