Instructions for wiki exercise: 1. Click on your Group # link. It will take you to a page that tells you what kind of letter you have been assigned. 2. To write to this page, click on the "Edit" button on the top right. 3. The wiki page now acts like a regular Word document. Here do the following: a. Write your plans for your group document. Use this as a space to stay in communication with one another. The biggest downfall of group work is poor communication. b. Determine who is to do what. Make sure everyone has a (relatively equivalent) task c. Post appropriate links. To do so, type the words you want to be turned into a link. Highlight those words. Click on the "Link" button above. Check the "External link" box. Paste in the URL to the linked page. Click okay. The text should become a hyperlink. d. Attach any relevant documents. To do so, Click the "file" button above. (You must be signed in to do this). Search and find your document from your hard drive or thumb drive. When it appears on the left, click on it. It should become embedded in your page. 4. When you have completed the above tasks, be sure to click "Save" on the upper right.

NOTE: if somehow you goof things up and erase something you didn't mean to or screw up in some way, don't panic. Wikis are very forgiving. Just go to the "History" tab across the top. Find the previous page, the one before you goofed things up. Click on it and then choose "revert to former document." It will go back to the page that was posted before you screwed up. Or email me and I"ll fix it for you.
