GETTING STARTED
FIRST


What is Wikispaces?
Wikispaces is a place where you can create a wiki, or a simple to use collaborative website to use in your classroom and your school.

Creating Pages
· Each wikispace may contain many pages.
· Each page is a single web page which can contain content and can link to other pages.
· To create a new page within the current space, use the "Make a New Page" link in the sidebar or just create a link to the new page in the editor.
· When you create a space, you'll start with one blank page called home.
· Click "edit" to add content to that page.

Editing Pages
· Each editable page on Wikispaces has an "edit" button at the top of the page.
· Click on the "edit" button to bring up the page editor.
· The page editor allows you to add text and pictures to a page and to format that page.
· Click “save” often.

Easy Linking
Just select some text, click our link button and select the location you want to link to.

Embed Media

Wikispaces supports adding embedded pictures, video, applications and other media through the use of the media tag. Using this tool, you can embed video clips, sounds and music, chat clients, and any other content designed to be shared from HTML pages. The easiest way to use this is to use the "Embed Media" tool from the visual editor ([[image:file:C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5Calthofb%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_image003.gif width="23" height="22" caption="external image embed.gif"]]) or the text editor. In the popup window that appears, paste the HTML code given to you by the content provider.


The web is full of great services that we want you to be able to use right from your wiki. Think video, audio, calendars, group chat and more. You can now paste in the HTML from any web service and it will show up on your wikispaces page.
