PURPOSE OF THIS WIKI AND HOW TO USE IT (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
This wiki provides a place for Mr. Olson's students of World History to post meaningful content to assist others in the course. Examine the categories provided and add your comments. Your entries will gain you extra credit as long as you follow my directions.

**__IMPORTANT: WHEN MAKING SUBMISSIONS TO THIS WIKI__:**

 * be formal (follow the rules and practices for good academic writing)
 * be accurate (double check your facts, spellings, etc.)
 * be appropriate (observe the school's acceptable use policy)
 * **DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING GENERATED BY ANOTHER STUDENT--THAT'S MY JOB**
 * **DO NOT DUPLICATE __EXACTLY__ ANYTHING SUBMITTED BY ANOTHER STUDENT**
 * make sure all your submissions are strictly your own and in your own words (avoid plagiarism)

TO SUMMARIZE
You may **ADD** content to this wiki at any time. I reserve the right to edit anyone's content or to instruct you to make changes in your own submissions.
 * YOU MAY** **NOT EDIT** content submitted by others.

__VERY IMPORTANT:__
===BE AWARE THAT THIS WIKI ARCHIVES EVERYTHING SUBMITTED TO IT, SO ANYTHING YOU POST CAN BE TRACED DIRECTLY BACK TO YOU. KEEP YOUR SUBMISSIONS FORMAL, HELPFUL, ACCURATE AND APPROPRIATE. INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT IN VIOLATION OF THE SCHOOL'S ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY COULD RESULT IN MRs OR CONSTITUTE AN HONOR CODE VIOLATION, LEAD TO THE REMOVAL OF YOUR SUBMISSIONS AND BAR YOU FROM MAKING FUTURE SUBMISSIONS TO THE WIKI.===

__**PASSWORD SECURITY:**__
===**DO NOT SHARE YOUR PASSWORD WITH ANYONE OR THE METHOD WE USED TO GENERATE IT. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP OUTSIDERS OFF THE SITE. THIS WIKI WILL BE PRIVATE, MEANING YOU'LL NEED TO SIGN IN WITH YOUR GMAIL USER NAME AND PASSWORD IN ORDER TO ACCESS IT. REVIEW HOW WE GENERATED USER NAMES AND PASSWORDS SO YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO FIGURE THEM OUT WHEN YOU NEED THEM.**===

**2. __Only make submissions to the current unit.__**
===3. There will be numerous opportunities for you to make submissions to this wiki. You decide what kind of and how many submissions you want to make. In many cases you can just transfer information directly from your notebook. In other cases you may need to think a bit and compose something for submission. Every submission will contribute to the class participation component of your Student Input grade (see Basic Information 1 handout on Grades).__I recommend you try to make at least two or three submissions to the wiki every week.__===

4. I will periodically read and edit all entries. Follow my prompts on each page.
===5. __Do NOT make an excessive number of submissions on any one wiki page__. Spread your submissions across the various pages so that others can contribute as well (since most pages have a submission limit).===

6. __To make a submission, press the tab at the top of the page for EDIT THIS PAGE__.
===7. __After typing in an entry, add your gmail user name initials in parentheses and then press the tab for SAVE.__ For example: ........my text for the entry......... (bol). The "initials" I'm referring to here are the ones after "baywh.." in your gmail user name--the first letter of your first name and the first two letters of your last name. In this example, "bol" stands for __B__ob __Ol__son.) I'd like to be able to figure out quickly and easily who is making submissions without having to go through your gmail user names.===
