=Welcome to the Write to Learn 2010 Wiki!= In this workshop, we are going to set you up with your own personal wiki that you can eventually use in a variety of ways, but today we will creating a page that will empower you to dynamically build background knowledge for a novel you currently teach.

Then, we are going to show you how you can use an alternative wiki ([|PBWorks]) to organize classroom projects both collaborative and independent, such as research papers, song analysis, and others.

First, though, let's find out what you know: let's complete the Intro Activity.

 * works fluently with googledocs
