Learning4Content/Workshops/eL4C56/Instructions for Day 2

Dear Friends,

A warm welcome to all our new participants!

I would also like to thank my colleagues and co-facilitators Mr Anil Prasad and Mr Sebastian Panakal who are helping out voluntarily and are giving free of their time. You are in very good hands.

You still have the opportunity to invite friends to join us, as we are only getting started today, the second day of the workshop. Some of you have joined us again, and we salute you for this decision. There is a lot to be learned and you are really taking advantage, which is wonderful. Your time commitment per day shouldn't take more than 15 or 20 minutes for new arrivals to catch up. WikiEducator (WE as we call it) are here to share knowledge and to collaborate in the Wiki way, so feel free to spread the word and give the gift of knowledge, and point your friends to this link:

About WikiEducator

This email provides a copy of the instructions for Day 2 of our workshop in your inbox. Note that all instructions are linked from our workshop home page:

eL4C Workshop Homepage is http://wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Workshops/eL4C54/Home (Bookmark this page in your browser).

Remember: if you missed earlier instructions, you will find copies of all activities for the previous day posted in the Announcements box in the wiki.

We see friends are making great progress with the activities for Day 1 ahead of time (in many parts of the world) and are experimenting. Well done!

Get to know your fellow participants and read the introductions posted so far by our friends already (see: Introductions at http://en.wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Workshops/eL4C56/Introductions). In addition, we have created a Google+ community for eL4C56 participants for collaboration, please visit https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/111607481158258758982 and introduce yourself there.

Wiki's are about experimentation, so be bold and have a bash at posting your own intro. Don't worry, you can't break anything, if you do, WE can fix it (we promise). Wiki's keep a record of every edit, so it is easy to fix a mistake.

An early heads up,- there are community Kudos awards for the participants with the highest number of edits during the workshop, so get started!

Day 2 is pretty relaxed ,you will learn more about the amazing world of wikis, have the opportunity to familiarize with it. Watch our short video introduction and follow the instructions posted in the wiki.
