= __Posting documents to your personal Wiki __ =

=== **You will create your personal Marian Assignments wiki during the first week of the 650 class. All of your assignments for EDT 650 will be posted on this wiki (and some will also be uploaded to the Marian Moodle and your Dropbox). Many other classes in the Marian program will also ask that you post assignments to this wiki. Any resources you find from this or any other class should be posted here as you will not always have access to prior class's resources once the class is finished. ** ===

Each cohort will have a page with all of your names linked to your personal Marian wiki. You will then be able to access everyone's wiki from this class. See link below for an example:

http://online650.wikispaces.com/Cohort+Page

You will need to email your instructor the following information so they can add and your personal wiki address to the Cohort Page: <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">* city you teach in, grade level and subject area you teach <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">* link to your personal wiki

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Directions are located on the Wiki Assignment page for creating a page on your wiki for assignments for EDT 650.

= __<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Saving documents __ = === **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">It is important to be correctly saving your documents (see below for examples) and storing them in labeled folders for each class. Your final class (EDT 678 Portfolio) in the Marian Program will require you to find ONE evidence that you have created/used in your classes for each of the Ten Wisconsin Teaching Standards. You will then need to right a descriptive rationale statement that goes along with the evidence. This can be difficult if you have not been organized with the work and resources you have used during your time in the program. Do not rely on past instructors to keep copies of your work. ** ===
