 * Find the wiki pages your group will use on the navigation column to the upper right
 * Click on the help link below to learn more about how to use wikispaces. Please note that I've already created the wiki we'll be using but you'll need to know how to use the Edit button to add or change text. This is described at about 1:05 into the video tutorial.


 * A detailed help menu can also be found at the top of the page

A message about Wikispaces

What does the word "wiki" mean, exactly? You know it to mean a place on the web where people can work together to build content. As a concept it's made a huge impact on the world and especially, of course, what we do here at Wikispaces. If you want to get technical about it, though, wiki means "quick" in Hawaiian. And changes can come quickly on a wiki site.

If you ever lose track of what's been happening on a wiki, the "Recent Changes" link is the place to go. And if you haven't visited Recent Changes in a while, you'll find two new ways to use it: by user and by date. Just type in a user's name (your own is a good way to try this out) and you'll see only the changes made by that user. It's a great way to answer those questions like "I know I edited a page on this wiki, but which one?" or "What has my friend been editing lately?" that come up as you're working. Date ranges give you an even better focus.
