Why am I here?

Presumably, you are here because someone invited you, or maybe you asked to join this wiki.  That probably happened because you are involved in adult education and are interested in technology.

Now that you are here, what should you do?

1)  Contribute!  Wikis are collaborative websites.  Without users like you contributing their knowledge, this wiki will go nowhere.  Edit pages to add lesson ideas, links to resources, examples of student work, etc.

2)  Don't be afraid to Edit.  Susan (the wiki owner/administrator) can always revert to a previous version if somehow you manage to erase every word on the page.

3)  Comment.  If you like someone's work, let him or her know!  If it reminds you of another great idea you had, share it.  If you don't understand something, ask for clarification.

4)  Tell others.  A public wiki is like a 4th of July party--the more the merrier!  Send the link to your adult education friends and encourage them to join the wiki.

5)  Create an "About Me" page.  Tell the community about yourself and how you're using tech in adult ed.  Remember that this is a public wiki though--don't reveal anything you don't feel comfortable sharing with complete strangers.  A good rule of thumb is the "Grandma Rule":  if you would feel comfortable letting your Grandma read your page, you've got it right!  (When you're finished with your "About Me" page, make sure to file it in the "About Us" folder so everyone can find it easily!)

6)  You may want to adjust your Notifications settings.  By default, PBwiki notifies you by email when changes are made to this wiki.  To reduce the amount of email in your inbox, click account under your email address in the top right corner.  On your account page, click the Home tab.  Change your notifications to "At most once per day".
