Add navigation pages to your wiki and write on them!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><i>Submitted by Fiona Beal</i><br /><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last week I wrote a blogpost and challenged teachers to consider creating a wiki if they don’t already have one. My post was called  ‘<a href="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2012/05/why-not-create-wiki-for-your-classroom.html">Why not create a wiki for your classroom’</a>?  A wiki is a superb calssroom tool, really. Well, if you took the challenge and created a wiki, I have some more fabulous tips for you to spruce it up a bit. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Add navigation pages</span></b></div><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The first thing you could so is add navigation pages on the left hand side to give it that website feel. If you would like to do that I have created a Slideshare that could assist you. It is called ‘How to add navigation pages to your wiki'. Take a look:</span></div><div id="__ss_12955901" style="width: 425px;"><b style="display: block; margin: 12px 0px 4px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal/how-to-add-navigation-pages-to-your-wikispaces-wiki" target="_blank" title="How to add navigation pages to your Wikispaces wiki">How to add navigation pages to your Wikispaces wiki</a></b> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="355" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/12955901" width="425"></iframe> <br /><div style="padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">View more <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/thecroaker/death-by-powerpoint" target="_blank">PowerPoint</a> from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal" target="_blank">Fiona Beal</a> </div></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>How to write on a wiki </b></span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">O</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">nce you have done that you might find that wikis are sometimes tricky to write on. But don’t worry as I have created some information on how to write in a wiki. Let me add this an a Box.Net embed.(I love the way one can so easily upload to Box.net and then got an embed code to put the document on a wiki. </span><br /><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="400" src="https://www.box.com/embed/988lzc5revrez7e.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="466" wmode="opaque"></embed></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, in the next wiki post that I write I’ll add some information about adding a header and some gadgets to your wiki. Really, for a teacher, a wiki is a MUST in this day and age. </span></div></div>
