Getting Tricky with Wikis
Learn tips and tricks for making your wikispace stand out in the crowd!

[|Twiki Issues to consider]
 * Security** -You want to be able to make the following settings in your wiki:
 * protect certain pages from changes (find out how to LOCK pages). This prevents accidental erasures. See Manage Space or page options/settings.
 * set the entire wiki to private view (visible and editable only by members). See Manage Space or Wiki Options/Settings.
 * set the entire wiki to protected or member-only editing, if you wish to prevent non-student visitors from making changes. See Manage Space or Wiki Options/Settings.

[|copyright]
 * Wikis can include writing, images, and sound or video files. Most wikis fall under a special copyright agreement called Creative Commons. This essentially means that any content users place on the wiki can be used by others under a "share and share alike" arrangement. All Creative Commons uses must be properly cited.
 * You and your students do not own materials you find on the web, such as music, video, or images. You must make sure that anything you do use from other sources is also under a [|Creative Commons license]. Most photos on Flickr are available this way, for example. See further information about copyright and Creative Commons licensing.
 * Important note: Unless your wiki is completely password-protected and seen only by registered students of your course, you and your students may NOT use copyrighted materials under "Fair Use." Far Use does not permit you to place the items on the web.

What Is SlateBox?
SlateBox is a visualization platform that makes it easy to markup ideas on embeddable "slates" and convey the information visually. Anyone can create an account for free and use SlateBox to build a diagram, flowchart, or more. If you own a blog or website, you can also embed these slates directly on your site. Developers can tap into the SlateBox Javascript library API to create rich visual web applications. Embed, Share, Collaborate. Visualizing information has never been so easy.
