Summary:
The syllabus is under Syllabus at the side. It lets you see what the schedule is and how much each part of the class is worth to the final grade. All assignments are due on Thursday and you can look at them under Projects. You turn them in on Thursday and you can find out if they are good enough. If not you can fix them and turn them in on Friday.

We went over wikispaces and how to use them and edit them, since we will be doing this for class. We saw how to make something a link and that is by going up the tool bar and selecting the picture of the globe or by putting brackets on each side[]user:lukeh03[]. Also how to make headings by going to the tool bar again and selecting the box that usually says normal and selecting the heading size or by putting equal signs on each side=user:lukeh03=(the more equal signs the smaller the heading).

After making the headings you can make a table of contents by doing this--[]toc[].

Also we learned how to upload pictures. You find the picture and save it to the computer, then go to the tool bar and select the picture of a tree. You can then go through and find your picture and hit upload. Then we talked about how a student has to write a summary for everyday of class. It is suppose to talk about what we learned and did in class.

We also learned more about Microsoft Word and how to go to View and select toolbar to choose which toolbar we need for the project we are doing. In class we looked at drawing and how to make boxes and charts. Lastly, we talked about universal use. This is how products should be made so that everyone can use them easily. The design has to be right so a person can easily use the product and not mess it up. The Ipod and a door were used as examples.

The projects assigned for Thursday are a page about you, a brochure or letter to a principal about wikispaces, and looking a websites about Columbus that have good universal use or not(you can find them under projects).

The professor explained how to make a link. You can use the visual editor or wiki text . You can see a movie of this on the [[help page.
