HOME WIKI: THE LEARNING PROFESSOR http://thelearningprofessor.wikispaces.com/

This wiki is public.

You do not need to ask to be a member.

We will use the material contained on this wiki during every class period.

Put this on your QUICK LINKS bar.


 * WIKI FOR OUR SPECIFIC CLASS**

Each course will have a wiki separate from that of the Learning Professor wiki.

To be a member of our course wiki, you must first join Wikispaces.


 * Be careful here**: Answer "NO" to the question on whether or not you wish to create a new wiki.

Then you can enter the specific class wiki (which is private and protected).

Be sure you confirm your email address (and that it is the same one on our roster). If it links to another email, let me know that fact.

We will use this specific class wiki for your personal page.

You will post your daily reactions on that page.
