Creating Wiki

Creating Wiki site was the other presentation that the tutor made. It is a site that everyone can create and drop the information in it for others to read and pass comment on it. To create a wiki site using Google tools one should have Gmail account opened. We must open the Google site or our Gmail account. The black tool bar can be seen on the top and we have to click on more to find the site. On doing that we don’t find site and further more we need to click on even more, Scroll down till we find the site and click on it. Then click on the create button and choose the template.  Type the name of the site in the box. Then select the theme to be used and click on it. Scroll down and we will see the code. Copy the code in bar shown below the code. The site is created. Then go back to home page where we will see our site. To edit the home page, click on edit and change the name whatever we like. We can also insert image to our site. To do this, select image and click on it and choose the image from any sources and click on it. The image is created then. Click on save.

We can now post documents for others to read and comment. Click on new post. Name the page and put information on it. And then click on save. The page is saved then. We can also create any new page and to do so, we need to click on to new page on the tool bar above. This is found to be very useful with our students if there is access to net facilities and enough computers in the school. We can do everything online.
