 * Session 1 Activities**

1) Access Wiki7Workshop. 2) Edit the new "Members" page by inputting your email address. 3) Develop a wiki in Wikispaces. Our goal is to develop wiki environments for your students to collaborate, cooperate, and create. 4) Develop one or two Netiquette rules or guidelines for students in your wiki with a partner. Edit your partnered contribution and paste it into the Wiki7Workshop "Netiquette" page. Our goal is to simulate working in pairs, and with larger groups, in wiki environments. Additiionally, we are creating a prototype of a working document to use with our students as they begin to work in Web 2.0. (Please sign these posts with your first name, or if we have two people with the same name, use first name and first initial of your last name: “Jan C.”) 5) If you wish, copy and paste the Netiquitte guide we collaborated on into a new page in your wiki. 6) If you haven’t already done so, create an avatar for yourself.

Have fun.==
