Signing+Up

=**Pertama-tama!** = **Join this wiki ** After this week, only members of this wiki will be able to access it! So the first thing you'll need to do is make sure you've **signed up to wikispaces**.

**Tips:** Try and choose a name that's not so random that people won't recognise you (eg. Username99), but not your full name (remember to //never make your username your full name//! It's basic cyber-safety, people!!).

So once you've got yourself a wikispaces account, you need to go to http://12-indo-2011.wikispaces.com/ and click on the 'Join Wiki' link - it looks a bit like this:

Follow the prompts and you're in!

**Why Would We Wiki?**
This wiki will have all manner of useful information given to you by your teacher, but it’s not just about Bu posting information up here for you to access (although there’ll be plenty of that! AND, if you’re away, any class work or homework you’ve missed will be posted here!)

Tetapi, selain dari itu, you have the opportunity to contribute to all aspects this wiki, whether it’s by messaging each other via this message button: to ask Bu or each other questions (all you need is the user name of the person you're messaging). The mail function's really good for asking for help, because you //know// how hard it can be to find teachers when it's not class time.

One of the other great features is the discussion tab, via this tab: which is great for asking questions that other people might be able to help you with, and for discussing things like your //pertanyaan umum// with each other and other Unit 3&4 Indonesian students who aren’t in your class.

**The best thing about a wiki is**
that you can’t break it! Try it – if you mashed the keyboard with your face and somehow managed to delete the contents of this page, it could be restored after a couple of clicks. So play and experiment with everything you can! The flip side of that is that you can’t post or edit anonymously. So be excellent to each other, because everyone will know it’s you being a pest. =**Next bit...** =

**Create your page** Now you're all signed in and looking at this page, you'll notice that the 'Join this Wiki' link has changed to 'New Page'. Guess what that link does? Click on it and follow the prompts to create your own page. Give your page a name (just your first one), then click on 'Create page'. Once you get to your page, you need to type something (anything - doesn't matter if it's random, the page just needs to feel like there's something worth saving), and hit the save button.

Your page name should automatically appear in the white navigation box to the left. To edit your page (or any other page) later, click on the 'Edit' button to add your own content.

= = Any questions, just send a message to your Bu. And if you want to post something on a page, and 'sign' it, just d o 4 of these: ~ in a row 1290554863

**There might come a time where you say**
‘But Bu! I don’t want to keep checking back to see who’s made changes to this wiki!’. And when that day comes, Bu will say “Siswaku, you can go here: [|http://12-indo-2011.wikispaces.com/space/notify], and tell it to email you when people make changes to either one page, or every page of the wiki. Then all you have to do is check your email! Now go in peace.”
