Assignment for Thursday
What is a Wiki?
A multi-authored, collaborative web site.
As with any web site, it has a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) a.k.a. web address.
What is a wiki made of?
Handcrafted web pages that MAY be linked together.
No magic. You create each page using text, pictures, and links.
The design and formatting are also manually crafted and may require using a bit of HTML code.
Terms: Workspaces
Spaces on the PBWorks server that hold content (i.e., the files you upload, the pages you create).
One account can have several spaces, each with its own user list.
Each workspace has a web address:http://workspace-name.pbworks.com
Example:http://envsepd.pbworks.com
Terms: Pages and Files
Files: any computer files you upload to your workspace:image files, text files, video or audio files, spreadsheet files, etc.
Pages: what you create by:typing or pasting in text, inserting images, or creating links to other pages in your wiki, or files, or external web pages.
Terms: View vs. Edit
View: how an outsider sees it – the “read only” version.
Edit: how the author sees it – the one with the editing icons.
Terms: Page History
Every change, by every writer, on every page.
Click on the link to see what was changed and who made the change.
Terms: FrontPage
The top or opening page of the wiki where you will build your Table of Contents.
Yes, you can change the name.
Editing: Basic Tools
Bold, italics, underline
Bullet or numbered list
Indent paragraph
Left, center, right align text
Undo
Font styles
Editing: Tables
Not just for blocks of text. Tables are the easiest (and in wikis often the only) way to align elements on a page. For example, to place a caption directly under a picture:
Mount Mansfield, Vermont. September 29, 2013. Photo by Hope Greenberg.
