Task 17: Creating a Page on Wikispaces

Because we will be using Wikispaces on a regular basis in our classroom, each of you needs to learn how to contribute to the site by making pages, adding links, uploading files, and inserting pictures!

However, before we delve into using technology on a regular basis, we need to understand how to appropriately and professionally use these tools.

For this week's Techy Tuesday, you will be creating your very own Student Page on our class wiki that will focus on Acceptable Use of Technology.

On your page, please include the following items:

1. Five Acceptable Use rules you think should be included in our class policy

2. A brief explanation of each rule

3. Links to at least TWO websites where you found your information about these rules

4. An image that goes with each rule (a total of five images)

5. A resources we can use to better understand how to use appropriately use computers and the Internet

(A video, game, website, etc.)

Mr. Poole and I will choose the top ten Acceptable Use rules to create our own class policy!
