How to Use This Wiki
EducationalWikis.com is hosted at the free (advertising-supported) Wikispaces service. Wikispaces make the editing of a wiki very easy to do. You don't actually need a user account to help build or edit the wiki, but if you get one first it helps to track the changes you make. Either way, you click on the "edit" button to edit the page. This may seem scary at first, but give it a try! The easiest thing that you can do to it is add some text to the name to the test--once you hit edit, just play around. Once you have finished your edits to a page, then just click "Preview" to make sure everything is OK, then click "Save." You now have contributed to a wiki!

More detail on using wikispaces...

On any page that has been changed by users, you can see those changes by clicking on the "history" link at the top of the page. You can also discuss the contents of a page without actually changing the page--those discussions are available by clicking on the "discussion" link at the top of the page as well.

If you want to be notified when anyone else changes the contents of a page, you can click on the "details" link at the top of the page and then "notify me." This lets you subscribe to a "feed" or email notification that will inform you of any changes to a particular page or to the EducationalWikis.com wiki as a whole.
