 * Welcome to Mr. Jeffers's Wiki Tutorials**

 **What is a Wiki?**  Common Craft: Wikis in Plain English media type="custom" key="2787193"

**Warnings about Wikis** : 1. The most important thing to remember when creating a wiki project with many students editing the same wiki is that every **student must save his or her work in a word processing document at the same time to prevent any big losses. Students should also save pictures and web URLs as they go. This will eliminate any lost work due to accidents.**

2. In the event that students see the picture below**,** be sure that students always choose **LOAD PREVIOUS DRAFT. If they do not, there is a very good possibility that anything that has been edited previously within the wiki will be lost.**

 Please keep in mind that the following videos are for staff and students to use. Some of the videos will be focused more on the staff and some videos will focus specifically on students. Both staff and students will need to know their individual usernames and passwords first before editing their own wikispaces. The examples given in the following videos are only for my classes.
