**Welcome to the Wiki for Our Intel® Teach Essentials Course!**
**We will use this wiki to share ideas and share our finished products. Use this home page to:** 1. **Go to our blogging community: [|TappedIn] Go to this site, and create an account(free).** We will also use TappedIn for some online discussion and collaboration on Pedagogical Practice(it is a very versatile site!)

2. **Go to our "tagging" sites:** [|Portaportal] Go to this site, and create an account(free).

**RECORD YOUR LOGINS AND PASSWORDS AS YOU CREATE THESE ACCOUNTS!** Include the login and password to this wikispace also.(p. vii in your book)  **3. WIKISPACE** We will use this wiki as a place to "store " and share files with each other(can be used in place of a flashdrive!), and later to Showcase Units. If you want to use the file structure of the folder system, right on your wiki page, I have set up a Unit Portfolio Model(in the left navigation) that you can just copy and paste to your page.

**WIKISPACE DIRECTONS:** A. To get on this wiki, click the "Join this wiki" button at the top of the page, and create a wikispaces account, if you don't already have one. You can go back and make your own wikispace later here, if you decide that is something you can use. B. I will approve your joining. Then you can make yourself a page, naming it with your FirstName_LastName. Then put your name on it as the title.
