About This Wiki


We will use this Wiki to coordinate the work of all 24 students. Each student should keep an entry showin
their current topic(s) and current progress. We can keep track of the work in this page :
Each topic must be presented in a web-page, stored on a web-server. This can be stored on Wikipaces -
or you can store it on dropbox, or wix, or any other web-server that you find productive. In any case,
you will need to give a link to your page to the coordinating students.

You should START each topic by creating a very simple Web-page, showing just the title and a brief description of the topic.
For example: Making a Series of Numbers in a Spreadsheet


5 May 2011 - TODAY

Continue working on your instructions. Remember - keep it short and simple. You need to finish the first one in 3-4 days. Otherwise, you are doing to much.


3 - 4 May 2011

Make sure you have sent the teacher an email with your LINK to your START page.

Keep the first problem small - do a very specific task, one that you understand, and which doesn't require too many instructions. If you write more than 20 instructions (sentences), you have done way too much.

Here is a finished example by the teacher for the Number Series in a Spreadsheet Problem


2 May 2011

By the beginning of next period (homework), each student must have done the following:
  • read the Starting Notes (above)
  • selected their first topic
  • created their START page (like Numbers in a Spreadsheet, above)
  • sent a link to the teacher pointing to their starting page

In the future, links should be sent to the organizers.
Today's homework for the organizers is to create a WikiSpaces account.
