For the weekend

1) Set up your homepage through the weekend - we won't see each other for 4 days.

2) Read the "introduction" (xi-xiv 4pages) in The Great Fairy Tale Tradition. Also, choose a fairy tale and read this for Wednesday.

Introduction to the Wiki: The Basics

1) Computer Lab Guidelines
2) What is a Wiki and a Blog?
*"WikiWiki is the Hawaiian word for quick".
*A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in cronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly. - Matisse
3) Wiki Overview
4) Wiki Passwords
5) Make your Personal Page
