__Working the Wiki__
1. To start we shall edit our User names and profiles. Towards the top of the window you should notice your User name in blue, currently it is your email address. Click on it.

2. This will bring you to the "My Account" page. Now click on the "Settings" tab.

3. Please change your User name to either your first or last name. Now we will change our Profile picture. To find a image just use google and search images for anything appropriate to serve as your Profile picture. Once you find an image you like right click on it and save the image to the desktop of your computer. Now return to your Settings and upload the image by clicking the button (To get back to this page log on the wiki, click your User name, then the settings tab).

4. Moving about the Wiki is done through the Navigation bar on the right side of the window.

5. Each page in the Wiki has a Discussion tab. By clicking on the tab you will be able to post a message in response to that page. For example, as you work on Assignment One we will ask you to post your messages or threads to that page.

__Notes on etiquette and other information to consider__
1. Though only members of this Wiki may see it or post upon it, all information written on the Internet must be considered public. The members of this Wiki include both sections of 11AP classes, administrators, other faculty and resident experts in the field. So please be mindful of an audience beyond the scope of just your peers.

2. Be sure to proofread and spell check all postings ( the Wikispace does have an embedded spell check- just Control click the highlighted word).

3. Focus on being clear and concise in your responses. Posting should possess a clear thesis, supporting logical evidence and be readily absorbed.

4. Be creative and explore this new format. Examine the tools available (For example, notice the internal message program that allows you to send messages to an individual or to all the members of the Wiki).
