Click on the "Join" link at the upper-right corner of the page. Fill in the "Username" and "Password" with the SAME information from the box

above that you used for your Gmail account. Your "E-mail" should, obviously, beyour new Gmail account address ("Your Username"@gmail.com). Also, makesure you have selected "No" under "Make a Wiki" before clicking "Join."

This will create your account, but you will need to go BACK to your Gmailaccount, click open the message from Wikispaces once it appears, and click onthe E-mail verification link to complete your account creation.

Visit room250.wikispaces.com again. This time, click on the "Join this Wiki" link at the upper, left side of the page.

Click the "Request" button Return to your Gmail account, again, and open the message from Wikispacesaccepting you into the class wiki once it appears.

Click on the link inside the E-mail that will take you back to the class Wiki, whereyou should be a full member, now (the "Join this Wiki" button should now say"New Page").

THIRD, Create a New Page for Yourself on the Class Wiki: Click on the "New Page" link at the upper, left side of the page. Type ONLY YOUR FIRST NAME as the title of the page, then click "Create." You will immediately be taken into the editing mode on your page. Create a

homepage for yourself that will ultimately become a space to display at least onepoem you write during this unit and, eventually, more of your work to serve asyour own electronic portfolio.

Make sure all information is appropriate to share withEVERYONE!
