Add a picture to your wiki page.
First you have to save your file so that it can be used by wikispaces:

If you use PC:
 * 1) Open 'Paint' (click on Start, Programmes, Accessories, Paint)
 * 2) Paste or open your picture
 * 3) Click on the menu item 'image', then select 'stretch/skew'
 * 4) Make the picture smaller by chaning BOTH percents (making them both 50 will halve the size of the picture)
 * 5) Drag the white area of the screen so it is the same size as your picture (or smaller)
 * 6) Go to 'file' and click 'save as'
 * 7) Give your picture a name AND save it as a JPEG picture (select from the drop down list underneath file name)

Now you can upload your picture:
 * 1) Make sure you're logged in
 * 2) Click Edit Page on the page you want to add the picture.
 * 3) Click on the tree icon in the toolbar at the top
 * 4) Click browse and find your picture. Click upload.
 * 5) Double click your picture from the list.
 * 6) You can edit the picture by clicking on it to change location and size.

[|Wikispace Tutorial 1]
How to sign in, navigate, use the discussion tabs and sign out of our room231isb wikispace. (Ms H made these tutorials when she was a teacher with room18tis so just substitute room18tis with room231isb ok?)

[|Wikispace Tutorial 2]
How to hyperlink using the visual editor and how to hyperlink using a little bit of html code.

You need to [|sign up for a voki account] first. (//**My students need to remember to have their parents permission to do this**//). You will need a microphone plugged into your computer (you may borrow Ms H’s ones from school - write your name on the board if you take one home). You will need an email address to sign up for voki and you will need to **verify** your voki account before you can create a voki. Just click on the link in the email voki will send you when you first sign up. **Be aware** that this email might go straight to the junkmail box so check there too.

Embed a Voki, Voicethread, Blabberize, SlideShow or other html-code widget on your wiki page
