Setting up WikiEducator - Quick & Easy!
Please Keep This in Mind...
WikiEducator has a Simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) - which means you'll need to learn 4 or 5 things, and as you get more comfortable with it, then you can move onto more complex activites. For now though, remember "Simple GUI"!
Before you start, you'll need to do the following:
- Choose a User Name (i.e., think about Your Identity in the WikiEducator community)
- Find a copy of your bio or resume
- Find a recent picture of yourself (jpg format)
You will use these to develop your own User Page.
