Wikis


 * Wikis**

To create a wiki- [|Wikispaces for Teachers] (Note: If you forget to use the direct educator link to create a wiki, click on "Subscription" under "Manage Space" and request a complimentary upgrade to Plus for K-12 education.)

**Wiki Tips**
Remind students to not use last names. Set up guidelines for editing each other's work. Under Manage Space, use the Members and Permission feature to establish who can view and edit your wiki. Public means anyone can see and edit your wiki. You can also lock down your wiki so that anyone can view it but only members can edit. See the Wikispaces Help for Teachers to see how to create member accounts for your students. The information is copied below:

Depending on your purpose, internal vs external vs internal/external, a protected or private wiki are the best options. =How can I create accounts for my students?= If you are a K-12 educator and have registered your wiki with our free K-12 education Plus plan, you can create student accounts in bulk yourself. You can make up to 100 accounts at one time. To create accounts, just follow these steps:
 * Permissions (Click on Manage Wiki to set Permissions)**
 * 1) Navigate to your wiki.
 * 2) Select "Manage Wiki."
 * 3) Under People select "User Creator."
 * 4) Choose the wiki you would like to add the users to.
 * 5) You can enter the list as text or upload an excel or .csv file with usernames and passwords. E-mail addresses aren't required to create accounts. For more information on setting up the list of accounts, see our section on formatting your account list.
 * 6) The bulk user creator will guide you through the process of setting up your accounts. If you have any questions, send us an e-mail at help@wikispaces.com.

If you do not have a K-12 wiki, we can still create accounts for you. Just email help@wikispaces.com with a list of usernames, email addresses (if you have them - if you don't just leave them out), and passwords in the format described below and we'll create the accounts for you. =How do I format the list for bulk account creation?= To create accounts easily, format your list in the following manner with commas separating usernames, email addresses (if you have them - if you don't just leave them out), and passwords: code user1,email1@address.com,password1 user2,email2@address.com,password2 user3,email3@address.com,password3 code A few important notes that will help us create these accounts for you quickly: We have a large number of accounts on Wikispaces, so many combinations of first names, last names, and initials are already taken. It's much more likely all the accounts can be made as you ask if you add a school identifier to your students' usernames. For example, if your school is called John Smith High, instead of asking us for the usernames, //adam//, //james//, and //dom//, we recommend //jsh-adam//, //jsh-james//, and //jsh-dom//. Please make sure that usernames are at least 3 characters long (we allow letters, numbers, underscores _, or dashes -) and that passwords are at least 6 characters long. Finally, if you are sending us the list, make sure to let us know which wikis we should add them to as members.
