What+is+a+Wiki?

= What's a 'Wiki'? =

It's like a website (i.e., the Ishpeming School's website) but edited by the members (like Wikipedia), and the members are determined by me. Wikispaces has registered this wiki as a secure K-12 wiki which eliminates advertising, and puts it ahead of many other websites students visit. Parents are invited to join, to post messages to other parents. Please follow all rules below.

=‍Wiki How-to Links= If you have questions or would like to see how other educators use wikis, here are some links that might help:

=‍Getting Started=
 * You must first join Wikispaces. This is approved by the good people at Wikispaces, not me. They'll be happy to have you join.
 * Then, you must join this Wiki. I'll get your request. Choose a handle (nickname) that doesn't include your last name and add a message so I know who you are. I don't allow outsiders to join.
 * Don't edit this page, but feel free to edit other pages by clicking on the edit button above to put your own content on the page.
 * To invite new members, click on **Manage Wiki** and **Invite People**.

=‍Rules=


 * Request permission to join Computers 5 wiki
 * Use a handle—and let me know it’s you in a separate message
 * Don’t sign up for any Wiki other than Computers 5 without parent approval
 * Respect what others have written on the wiki.
 * You can either add to what others have written, make revisions or begin something new on the wiki.
 * Use correct spelling and grammar on the wiki. Remember what goes up on the wiki, goes up for the world to see. This is published writing, not draft.
 * Use appropriate language. Do not use any language that could be interpreted as mean to others.
 * Any factual information must be accurate.
 * Please remember to give credit to and cite your sources. Failure to do so is plagiarism.
