INTRODUCTION
A WebQuest is a kind of roadmap that takes the explorer on a journey through the many informative components of the World Wide Web. A wiki is like a web page that is always open to collaboration promoting editing and sharing of ideas and knowledge. Wikipedia is the most famous of the wikis. Of course, with this collaborative capability comes the security risk of hackers and other factors providing additions and information that is either incorrect or unwanted. Luckily, there are websites that provide the creation of wikis with the control of inviting chosen collaborators. Additionally, there are sites that provide educational wikis free of charge. These sites can still be viewed as a public website.

THE TASK
The next stage of our “Short Story Book Project” is online collaboration. Everyone needs to be on the “same page” (you know I love puns) so that this shared process can be done in an organized way. I will jumpstart the organization by providing the WebQuest. You, as a class, will break into teams and use the WebQuest to design a wiki that will explain, inform and organize the project. You will design a place where the creative process can break through the boundaries of the written page. You will become the teachers as you inform other students and teachers about what you went through to successfully complete our “Short Story Book Project.”

Conclusion
THE PROCESS• Your WebQuest will begin at the site http://www.teachersfirst.com/content/wiki/
. At the “Wiki Walk-Through” explore and learn. Pay attention to the information pertaining to keywords: language arts, writing, and creativity. When you get to “Wiki Step by Step” you will see two educational wiki choices, WikiSpaces and PBWorks. Divide into teams and explore the possibilities of the two.
• As a class, decide on your wiki tool choice.• Take any tutorials to familiarize yourself with use.• Name your wiki• Go through all of the steps to create your wiki. I will sign on as your teacher and
invite you per your email address. Once you are a member feel free to create a unique user name and profile.
• Next, you will explore the gadgets, tools, etc. that will enhance the organizational, presentational and promotional process and end result. Break up into teams to cover each of these three areas. If you think another area needs to be covered, go for it. Remember, you need to access and import documents that have been edited and link to other educational sites including http://www.languageartsnewmexico.org/ and publishers.
• Add pictures, begin discussions and upload stories being sure to cite as necessary.
• Add the tools to the wiki with either an example of use or a reason for its addition. Be sure to cite the place the tool or gadget was found with a link for easy access.
• Upload abstracts, interviews, etc.• Individually post a comment on: what you learned from
the process, how it helped with the overall organization of the project, etc.
