=Welcome= Welcome to Mr. Wink's HRHS Intro to Journalism Wikispace. This will be our "virtual" home for this semester.

=An Introduction to Wikis= A wikispace is a communal space for sharing information and ideas. Unlike blogs, which only have one primary contributor, anyone who is a member can add, modify, and delete contents, making it an ideal "cyberspace" for collaboration. A few basic principles: Want more information about how wikis work? From home, check out the YouTube video "[|Wikis in Plain English]."
 * 1) Only modify contents on your own pages (check this by verifying the page title at the top).
 * 2) Avoid using full names and revealing personal information (this is a public access site).
 * 3) If you would like to communicate with your classmates, use their usernames (see handout).
 * 4) Always verify information, attribute sources, and proofread carefully.
 * 5) Follow standard grammatical conventions ... this isn't your cell phone and you aren't texting your friends!

A Note on Videos
We cannot view YouTube videos at school. You have two options: post them early enough for students to view at home, or convert them to a Quicktime (.mov) file from home using [|Zamzar.com] (follow the directions provided on the site). = = =Current Event Topics= Current Events Project Introduction and Rubric
