10 Steps

10 Steps to Wiki Collaboration

 * 1) Seed the conversation. Discuss / share a problem (or project idea) with your friend or colleague - have them write it up and send it to you via email, or go to Step 2 below.
 * 2) Record the conversation. Write it up on WikiEducator - save the page, etc. = Be sure to create the page with the Template:Demo_example_nav template
 * 3) Send the conversation. Send the page link to your friend via email
 * 4) Contact your friend (by phone, Skype or even in person)
 * 5) Ask Your friend to click on the page link - the WE page will now open
 * 6) Now, both of you can discuss the problem (i.e., content info on the page) while looking at it (i.e., collaborating)
 * 7) Your friend will give you input / feedback about what you originally wrote (Step 1)
 * 8) You will take this feedback, and directly edit the page - and save it (i.e., the wiki-way)
 * 9) Ask your friend to refresh his/her screen (this is a bit different in different browsers, or they can click the first tab at the top of the screen - the "page" button)
 * 10) Ask your friend what s/he sees - the COOL / WOW experience!

Next Steps

 * 1) Gently, gently ask them if they would be interested in being able to "do" - what you've just done....for themselves...
 * 2) Wait...wait.. listen for his / her answer....
 * 3) Ask them why....
 * 4) Then explain that there is a Very Simple way to edit their own content ~ and you would be glad to show them how....
 * 5) Schedule another time to talk / do the demo (you may want to send them one or two links ahead of time - like to register a WikiEducator Account)
