This document provides instructions for educators on getting started using Wikispaces. It outlines the steps to create a user account, including choosing a unique username and password and providing a school email address. It then explains that the dashboard is the main control center for Wiki accounts and instructs educators to each evaluate science, social studies, math, language arts, and elective Wiki sites. They should note the name of each site and one reason why it would be useful in their classroom or a colleague's classroom. Finally, it states that all evaluated Wiki sites will be shared via email after the professional development session.
