Tutorial C2-4_Creating Pages and Adding Content

Page history last edited by Christine Bauer-Ramazani 11 years ago

Creating Pages and Adding Content


Objective: Create four pages, upload them into folders, and add content

 

We will be adding pages to the wiki for different purposes: a personal bio page, a participants' bios page, a page for favorite links, and a page for teaching resources/materials.


  

There are several ways to create a page in PBworks, and you can make as many pages as you need on your workspace. In order for viewers to find the pages, they should be linked in the SideBar. 

 

 

 

Reminder: You must be logged into MyPBworks to edit a page.

 

 

 

          


  

Task 1: Creating pages -2 alternatives

 

    A: Click the "Create a Page" Link

 

  1. In the upper right corner of your workspace, you'll see a link Create a page. Click on this link. 

 

 

     2. Go to Step 2 in B. below. 

 

   B: Create a page in the Pages & Files manager

 

  1. Click the Pages & Files manager on the top left. Then click the "New" button and "Create a page..."  
        

     

  2. With no spaces or with _ (underscore) or - (dash) between wordsenter the title of the page: About-Me
    Note: It is considered best practices in Web page authoring not to leave spaces between words to avoid having HTML automatically adding "%20" for every space. Thus, it is a good idea to get into the habit of using _ (underscore) or - (dash) between words whenever you name pages on the Web.
  3. Then click the drop-down arrow and select the My pages folder you created. 



 

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     4. Click Create pageThe page is now in your My pages folder.  

 

 

Task 2: Adding a table to the About Me page 

 

  1. To locate your newly created About Me page, click the Pages & Files tab at the top left.

  
         

 

     2. Click the My pages folder you created. You will see your page in it. Please notice that this is also the place where you can Delete pages, Move pages, rename a folder, and Delete a folder. You can do this by placing a check mark in the box and clicking the action you want.


        

 

     3. Click the About Me page. 

     4. Click Edit. Practice creating a table with 2 columns and 2 rows for images and text, as you learned in the previous tutorial.

     5. Add titles (headings) in your table. 

     6. You can now upload an image into one of the cells.  

     7. You can write some text about yourself in the other cell. 

     8. Save the page.

 

Task 3: Creating a Participants' Bios page

 

  1. Create a new page titled Participants-Bios. Remember: no spaces or use _ (underscore) or - (dash) between words
  2. Repeat steps 4-5 in Task 2. Type the headings Name in the top left cell of the table and Bio in the top right cell. 
  3. Write your name in column 1 and a brief bio in column 2. 
  4. Save your work. 

 

Task 4: Creating a Favorite Links page

  

  1. Create a new page titled Favorite Links. Remember: no spaces or use _ (underscore) or - (dash) between words 
  2. Repeat steps 4-5 in Task 2.
  3. Add titles (headings) to the top row in your table, e.g. Links for Speaking (column 1) and Description of Link (column 2). The left cell would contain text links to your favorite speaking Web sites or tools and the right cell would give an annotation or explanation about the use of the link. Save your work.

    EXAMPLE: 
    VoiceThread a free collaborative, multimedia Web 2.0 tool that allows for voice/video/text comments to be collected on images, documents, and/or videos that can then be shared with others; great for collaborative projects in speaking classes

 

 

     4. Add rows as needed.To add rows to your table, right-click on the row below which you want to install another row, move your cursor to "Row," select "Add row after," and save your work.

 

 

 

 

Remember to 'Save' or 'Save and Continue' often.  

 

Task 5: Creating a Teaching Resources and Materials page

 

  1. Create a new page titled Teaching-Resources-and-Materials. Remember: no spaces or use _ (underscore) or - (dash) between words.
  2. Repeat steps 4-5 in Task 2 
  3. As headings, use Wiki Resource in column 1, Collaborative Activity for Wiki Resource in column 2, and Classroom Application in column 3. This table will be used in Component 3 of the workshop to upload resources for collaboration among the participants. 

 

 Task 6: Creating an Evaluation Page

 

     1. Create a new page titled Wiki Feedback.  Remember: no spaces or use _ (underscore) or - (dash) between words.

     2. Write instructions asking other participants to complete your feedback form with feedback on your Wiki site. This page will be used to embed a feedback form that you will create using Google Drive in Component 3.
