- I shared the class Dropbox folder with the email you gave to me. In the folder is a document called "wiki updates - group assignments." This document shows the breakdown of groups who will rotate through roles updating key terms on the key terms directory, adding Resources, or taking the week off. Wiki updates start next week! Be sure to check the class schedule to see what key terms need definition. You can use my key terms and also add your own.
- FOR EDITING THE WIKI:
- Here is a really helpful "wiki markup cheat sheet" that you can use to remember how to format things on this wiki: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b3/Wiki_markup_cheatsheet_EN.pdf
- Here is an explantation of stuff in the editing toolbar: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Edit_toolbar
- There is also a general Wikimedia user help page here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents (Wikimedia is the software that I am running for this wiki. Wikipedia also uses Wikimedia software. I know that is confusing!!)
Week 3
This week we'll be reading two more chapters from Marwick's Status Update (chapters 3 and 4) and also discussing understandings of identity and the self online. I would also like to get you started on the Wikipedia project we will be doing in this class.
