=__Agenda__=

1.How to use our class web page
 * Our class is going to have a new web page. We are all going to build this web page together.
 * Our web address.
 * Even though this is online, you need to finish your work in class so I know it's YOU finishing the work. Work posted after class will not count. I can see when you post your work by clicking the history tab of your page.
 * Your wikispaces account.
 * How to create your wikispace page.
 * How to add to your wikispace page.
 * Rules for pages you are allowed to create/edit, and those you are not allowed to edit.
 * It's easy for me to tell who edits a page--so don't edit pages that you are not allowed to edit.

2. Create student pages.
 * Sign in to your account.
 * Click on "New Page" at the top of the screen.
 * The name of your page will be your name (first and last) and your ID number.
 * For example, Fadi Yousif 264573
 * Be sure to use the "Student Pages" template.
 * I will add a link to your page on the "Student Pages" web page.

3.The importance of file-naming protocols
 * This web page will be used by about 100 of my students.
 * Each file that you upload needs a unique file name.
 * Why?
 * Let's say you name your finished file "Resume.doc" and then you upload it to your web page.
 * That's fine, but what about the student from another period who also has a finished file that she called "Resume.doc"?
 * It is better to follow file-naming protocols. It will make your work easy to find and easy to post. Also, the teacher will easily be able to see your work.
 * File-naming protocol
 * 1) The name of the assignment
 * 2) Your first and last name
 * For example, if Fadi Yousif completes the assignment called "Project 1-3", he will name his file "Project 1-3 Fadi Yousif"
 * If you do not follow file-naming protocol, I will not count your work and you will have to re-post it correctly. Following this file-naming protocol is like putting your name at the top of your paper--and we all know what happens when you try to turn something in without your name on it.

4. Word Project 1-3
 * ==== see page 21 of your textbook. It's in the green part of the book. Read the directions. All the data files can be found on the "U" Drive on the computer. You will be looking for the Word folder. Once you have located the Word folder and clicked on it to open, you will need to find the Lesson 1 folder and double click on that to open it. The file name will be **Lecture** . You will save this on your page as **Cosmic Lecture Pro 1.3 Your First and Last Name.**====
 * Post your completed word document on your web page.
