4. What is PBWorks? A tool for creating wikis. A web space for publishing wikis.

5. What is a wiki made of?  Handcrafted web pages that MAY be linked together.  No magic. You create each page using text, pictures, and links.  The design and formatting are also manually crafted and may require using a bit of HTML code.

6. Some PBWorks Terms  Workspaces/wikis  Pages and Files  Edit vs. View  Page History  FrontPage

7. Terms: Workspaces  Spaces on the PBWorks server that hold content (i.e., the files you upload, the pages you create).  One account can have several spaces, each with its own user list.  Each workspace has a web address: http://workspace-name.pbworks.com Example: http://envsepd.pbworks.com

8. Terms: Pages and Files  Files: any computer files you upload to your workspace: image files, text files, video or audio files, spreadsheet files, etc.  Pages: what you create by: typing or pasting in text, inserting images, or creating links to other pages in your wiki, or files, or external web pages.

9. Terms: View vs. Edit  View: how an outsider sees it – the “read only” version. Edit: how the author sees it – the one with the editing icons.

10. Terms: Page History  Every change, by every writer, on every page.  Click on the link to see what was changed and who made the change.

11. Terms: FrontPage  The top or opening page of the wiki where you will build your Table of Contents.  Yes, you can change the name.

13. Editing: Basic Tools  Bold, italics, underline  Bullet or numbered list  Indent paragraph  Left, center, right align text  Undo  Font styles
