=Tips and tricks: Hold a wiki training camp = By [|CAROLE]  | Published:  SEPTEMBER 27, 2011 You can do a lot with wikis. But before you get to the fancy stuff, you have to master the basics — and that goes for your students, as well.



Now that the school year is underway, we put together a quick 15–20 minute activity, designed to get students comfortable with using wikis. All you need is [|this PDF handout], a wiki of your own, and a few minutes of preparation: If you have any questions, or suggestions for similar materials that would make it easier for your students to use wikis, send us an email at help@wikispaces.com. If you are looking for a tool to present wikis to your peers, email us to request a copy of our [|PD Presenter wiki].
 * 1) Create your wiki and prepare accounts for your students.
 * 2) Prep media for your students:
 * Upload an image to your wiki.
 * Upload a file to your wiki.
 * Find a video on your favorite video service (e.g., YouTube, TeacherTube). On the home page of your wiki, add a link to that video. Do // not // embed the video. The link should say, “** Training camp video **.”
 * 1) Download the [|Training Camp worksheet] and prep it for your class:
 * In the field for task #1, enter the ** URL of your wiki **.
