HWC1.2 Day 23B - FCP Wiki Instructions

This phase of the Flat Classroom Project requires you to collaborate with other students to create an on-line artifact explaining one aspect of the "flat world."   It is essential to add accurate information and to cite your sources.  Further, it is important that you communicate effectively with your team members and that you pay attention to details.  Remember, a high-quality product requires participation and high-quality contributions from all team members!

How to Edit the FCP13-1 Wiki:
IMPORTANT:  ANY edit must be "Saved with Comment."  Further, EVERY edit to the wiki MUST be accompanied by a post & explanation on the discussion threads.  Be sure to make use of the expert advisor and to pay attention to the work of your group members.

1.  Go to FCP13-1 project wiki and sign in.  Read through the "Welcome" on the homepage.

2.  Identify your placement on Team Grid B "Student Teams"

3.  Click on your group topic.  Read the "Overview" of your topic.

4.  Then, once you're on your topic page click on "Team B."   Scroll down to the bottom of your topic page and add your name to the author list.  Link your name to your personal FCP Ning page.

5.   Go to your sub-topic (A-F) and read the topic assignment (in italics).  When you are ready to contribute to the wiki, you will click on "edit" for your subtopic and post your research BELOW the italics in your subtopic.  For EVERY post that is made, you MUST "Save with Comment" and BRIEFLY explain (1 sentence) the change you made to the wiki.  Then, you MUST go to the discussion thread for TOPIC WIKI for your topic and explain what you've done, why you've done it, and what questions you have.  If you are still confused, the following video on wiki editing procedures may be useful: http://helps.flatclassroomproject.org/home
