= Let's play around with the wiki a bit, and look at what makes a wiki unique. = = = =1) Make a new page on this wiki (there's a big "new page" button over to the left). Name the page starting with your name (like "Bob Intro Assignment") so it’s easy to find. = = = =2) Take a few minutes to decorate your page a little - see if you can insert a picture, add a link to an external website, or change the formatting around. //Note: If you have any trouble with editing (text disappearing, etc.), the very first thing you should try is another browser. I think Firefox and Chrome are better for wikispaces than Safari, but try them all if you have trouble.// =

3) Somewhere on your new page, add a link back to this page, or to a page one of the other students has made. http://yis7ahum.wikispaces.com/Aquafury85%27s+Introductory+Assignment Thus  4) Think of something you are an expert at, or are very interested in. Examine several Wikipedia pages related to that topic. Go through both the revision history and “Discussion” tabs until you find a particularly interesting article that’s changed a lot or had a lot of discussion. If you can’t find something, then pick a topic that will definitely have history and controversy, like “Bin Laden” or “Jesus” or "Mark Zuckerberg". Link to the Wikipedia article on your page, then write three reflective paragraphs below it:

 a) How has this article changed over time? What were some of the changes you found most interesting or important?  b) What have been the discussions about the writing of this article? How were they solved or addressed?  c) If you were going to add edits to this article, what would you do to improve it

5) When you're totally finished with writing three paragraphs for number 4), edit this page and add a link below to your page.
