Welcome to the SJSU EYH Wiki Workshop
Expanding Your Horizons Conference
Saturday, March 17, 2007
The purpose of the Expanding Your Horizons conferences is to expose girls to women who are in science and math careers, and hopefully to persuade the girls to consider science and math careers for themselves.
The purpose of this particular workshop is to explore using a little bit of science (wiki and html markup) to communicate with - and collaborate with - others who share similar interests. Communication, collaboration, and team skills are highly valued in life and in almost every career.
Most teens these days have their own email accounts, and many have their own blogs. Some have their own web pages or have developed web pages through their schools or other organizations.
Email is a conversation among the people on the From, To, and Cc lists. Blogs and web pages are one-way: You can read the posted information, but you cannot easily respond or add to the information.
Wikis enable you to share information and exchange ideas with anyone who finds them - not just people you put on a To list.
This workshop provides this site for you to create your own wiki page. Please think about this as you create your page:
- Wikis are for sharing information. Your page could potentially be read by hundreds or even millions of people. Try to write something that will pique their interest and possibly even make them want to add related information. Only your best friends care what band you like. On your wiki page, you might write why you like that band. Then someone else might edit your page to give a different reason she likes that band or to talk about a different band that she likes for the same reason. You might want to talk about a project you need to do or a trip you took. Write about something that might interest a large number of people.
- Do not include personal information such as your address or the school you attend.
- Please do not include your email address on your page.
To create your own page:
- Click the edit tab at the top of this page.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and type your first name only or a nickname inside double brackets, like this:
[[Alta]]
This creates a link to a new page called "Alta". - Click the Save page button at the bottom of the edit page.
Your new link should appear in red to indicate that there is not already a page with that same name. If your link appears in blue, click the edit tab again, change your page name, and save the page again. Does your page name appear in red now? - Click on your page name.
- Enter something interesting and save it!
