=What this wiki all about?= This is a way for our class to share resources, information, videos, and articles related to our class, as well as collaborate about literature, writing, and other topics that arise in our class discussions. Think of this as the continuation of our class online....

=Why wiki?= Although our school uses Edline, which is a fantastic place to access handouts and get information on your class, Edline does not offer the array of applications and tools that can be posted here on our wiki. It is also much easier to access the class wiki as it does not require //another// password for you to remember. So wiki away!

=About This Space= Your space is currently **protected**. It can be seen by everyone, but only space members can edit pages. Become a member of this space by [|registering with Wikispaces and requesting membership] in mrbacigalupienglish.

=How can __you__ contribute?= Adding to our class wiki is simple. Wikis not only allow for easy collaboration and sharing. You can contribute to your own learning as well as that of your peers. To get started, click on the 'edit' link above to add content to this page. You and other contributors can also comment on pages using the 'discussion' link at the top of every page. View the quick YouTube video below to see how easy it is to use a wiki.

=Creating and Editing Pages= For ease of navigation, pages for several courses have been created. If you need to create a new page, link it to the relevant course page. For more about creating and editing pages, see the Wikispaces Help page.

=Printing Pages= If you want to print pages, there are two ways:
 * 1) Click on "Page" at the top of a page and a drop-down menu will appear. One of the menu options is "Print."
 * 2) If you want to print a lot of pages, this method might be more convenient:
 * Click "Manage Space"
 * Click "List Pages"
 * Click "print" next to the page you want to print to bring up a printable view of the page
 * Use your web browser's print function to print the page
 * Note: I have had better luck with this in Internet Explorer than in Firefox.

=Following Conversations= One handy way to keep up with pages you're watching is the subscribe the RSS feed provided by the page. [|Here is a description of how to subscribe to RSS feeds]. Alternatively, you can click on the link that says "Recent Changes," which will give you a list of all the pages that have recently been changed. If you click on the Discussion tab in this view, you can also see all the recent discussions. For more information, read Wikispaces's [|Notify Me], where you can learn how to subscribe to this wiki using e-mail or RSS.

=Tagging= Tagging is a handy method for making sharing your content with others who are looking for it. When you create a page, you have the option to create one or more tags to identify the page. Some tags to consider include the course or strand (e.g. grammar, literature), topic (e.g. //Romeo and Juliet//). After you save a page, look at the top. You will see a section enabling you to create tags. You can tag other users' pages, too, if you believe the tags will help others find information.

=Uploading Files= If you want to upload documents or pictures, please visit [|this link].
