Creating+Your+Own+Wiki

=Creating Your Own Wiki=

You need to have created a //wikispaces// account before you can create your own wiki. Learn more about creating an account here.

Sign in to your //wikispaces// account and you should see your username at the very top of this page.

Click on either your 'username' OR 'My Account' and your //wikispaces// account page will appear. This is where you can change your profile information and see what other wikis you belong to (if you have chosen to join any).

The menu bar at the top of the page has a button for you to click if you would like to create a new wiki (see screenshot of toolbar below).



Simply click the 'create new wiki' button and you will see this page (below).



Your **WikiName** will become your wiki address - so you probably want to make it something easy for people to remember, and brief.


 * Wiki Permissions** If it is a wiki for your students, I would set it to Protected (free). This means that your students (or anyone) can view the wiki but only members can add to it. Students can create their own wikispaces account or you may like to have a class account that everyone shares (I would recommend students have their own account so as you can see who is on and who is editing what).


 * Wiki Type** If it is a class wiki then set this to K-12. //Wikispaces// gives wikis to schools - it means your free wiki will not have advertising on it.

Click 'Create' and you will have your new wiki!
