Using a wiki
I have made up a wiki, or shared web space called HutchieInternational. Its main purpose will be to act as place to make up collaborative pages, made up of contributions from pupils in our school, and our partner schools. But to for this to be of any use, you need to log on to the site and request permission to become a member. Only then can you add your own text.
So, here are the instructions.
Go to the wiki at http://hutchieinternational.wikispaces.com/
This will take you to the home page. At this point, you can read, but not edit.
To edit and to add new material, go to top right and click “join”
A dialogue box will pop up; fill in the fields as follows:
user name-whatever you wish (eg FredBloggs)
password-something you will remember
email your e-mail address no
click “Join”
You should now see your user name at the top right of the Home Page, beside the envelope icon.
Go along to the side bar on the left hand side and click “Join this space”
This brings up a box entitled,
“Request membership to HutchieInternational
To join the space, hutchieinternational, submit a request to the space organizers.”
No need to write a comment.
Click on “Request membership”
When I receive this request, I shall then grant permission to edit and you can begin to add comments.
What next?
1. S1- Go to “Where we live” (left hand pane). Add a brief comment about your home area.
2. S2 Go to International Trade (left hand pane) Add a comment about international trade, based on what you have found out by researching the websites in your Global Studies workbook 3. This comment shoud mention eg debt, fair trade, the work of Oxfam, poverty cycle, etc.
