1. SPAN 4583 Wiki Instructions

2. Our class wiki is already set up. You received an email
invitation to join www.span4583. pbworks.com. You must

navigation area. Look for the link to your location and
click on it.

in View mode or in Edit mode. See the two tabs? Changes can
only be made in Edit mode.

5. To make changes to your page, click the Edit tab at the top of
your page. When it opens, it will look like this. Check out the
toolbar.

6. Once you are finished making changes to your page, go to the
bottom of the screen and click Save. Don’t worry about the
“Describe your changes” area. We won’t use it.

First, open both YouTube and your wiki. Then, find the video
you want on YouTube.
Find the Share link
below the video and
click on it.

is not there, you will have to find a different video.) Copy ALL
the code in the little window. Now, go to your wiki.

17. The final type of media you will use is Creative Commons-
licensed or public domain photos.
Make sure you have followed the instructions about finding and
downloading the photos to your computer. Photos that do not
have a CC license or a public domain designation cannot be
used. The instructions are on Bb in this same section.
Follow the instructions for downloading the photos carefully. The
photos must be on your computer for the steps shown here to
work. Do not use any other method of copying photos.

18. You will upload your photos to the wiki from your computer. You
must already have the photos on your computer to continue. Look
for Upload Files on the upper left side of the wiki screen. Once you
click it, you will browse your files and select the photos.

19. After you have uploaded your
photos, open Edit view and put
your cursor where you want the
first photo to do. Go to Insert in
the toolbar and choose Link.
This box will appear in your
wiki page. Click on Browse
Pages and Files at the bottom
of the box.

20. This window will open. If you have already uploaded your
photos, they will appear in the list. Select the one you want
and click Insert Link. Your photo will appear in your wiki page.
Repeat the process with your other photos.
