Lab+activity+week+7

= WEEK 7: WEB AUTHORING IN YOUR WIKI =  1- Create a Table (2 cols 3 rows) on your wiki page.  2-Place a graphic in row 1: add text in col 2  3- Place a link to website in row 2: add text in col2   4- Place a link to youtube video in row 3: add explanation in col2   ====**__Comment on the authoring tools wikispaces offers:__** ==== ====I found the Table function to be a bit trickier than in word since you can't edit the text layout in the first go. After saving the text and images in the table, you can go back and change the formatting of the text or pictures. Also, text editing is a bit harder than in a word document as it sometimes changes as you save the page and go out of "editing" mode. This can be detrimental for students who want to make their wikis look a specific way, and they can waste a lot of time trying to achieve that look. Uploading files requires more than one step as well, and students can become confused or frustrated as they might not be able to find a file they intend to use in a page. I find this requires targetted instruction on the basics on website construction in wikispaces. ====  This is the picture that appears on the wikipedia article on the "Chicxulub crater" on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. || If you would like to read the article, this is its web address. || This is a link to the video called "Chicxulub Impact visualization" which shows an animation of how the asteroid hit the Yucatan Peninsula. ||
