Task: Create Your Own Wiki Page
**NOTE:** We will not have another "thing" the week of Thanksgiving. The course schedule considers this week a "catch-up" week, due to the holiday and travels. So, if you need the following week to get through this, you have it:)

We are going to start simply by creating our own wiki page on this space. Refer to this sample page as you get started on the required elements below.


 * Here are the initial required elements:**

1. Create your own page, naming it something clever. Remember what you name it--you'll have to link to it! 2. **4 titled sections that are HEADINGS:** 3. **Change the color** of your heading text. 4. **Insert a table of contents** on your page. 5. **Link** your newly created page to our K12Studio wiki page named **"Our Studio Pages"**. 6. **Post a discussion question** on **YOUR PAGE's** Discussion Board: Focus the question around the **topic of food**. You may ask for recipes (Thanksgiving is coming up!), best restaurants in Philadelphia, best ice cream shops, favorite wines, cooking shows, etc. Hey, we all gotta eat! :) 7. **Post a link** and annotation on the **"Sites We Like"** page. A model posting is there for you. 7. **Visit your adopted classmate's wiki page.** Post a reply or comment on their discussion board. In addition to this, visit at least one other classmate's wiki page and post a comment on their discussion board.
 * **Section 1:** Introduction (include your name, school, your position, and a link to your school's web site, as well as something that you enjoy about your job)
 * **Section 2:** Add a quote that resonates with you. This can be something that is the essence of your life philosophy, how you approach your job, or something that inspires you--it's up to you. Check out [|Bartleby Quotations] or [|The Quotations Page] if you are searching for just the right quote by topic.
 * **Section 3:** A bulleted list of your favorite things (movies, books, food, entertainment, music, the sky is the limit...)
 * **Section 4:** A "Don't You Hate it When..."This is just for fun--share something that annoys you. This is meant to be humorous, yet a shared universal experience.

//(We will work with embedding media and images as the course progresses. You are welcome to explore this on your own. In the future, we will examine the issues of copyright and media as well.)//
