__**PLAN FIRST**__ Think about what the purpose of your wikispace will be: - A place to gather - A place to share ideas - A place to display our work - What pages will you need? - How will you organise them? -What access will the students have?

__**HOME PAGE: CODE OF CONDUCT (Example)**__ It is a good idea to have this on the first page and use it in your first lesson!
 * Limit the time students can access the wikispace at home (between 4pm and 6:30pm)
 * Type your own name before you begin to comment
 * Students’ may only put up their own original work, not something copied from another student!
 * Students acknowledge the sources of all material not their own, including text, photos, music, video clips etc.
 * Students must never pretend to be anyone else.
 * Students understand that they require permission to use the photograph of anyone included in their work
 * Students must not delete, edit others' work
 * Be respectful when commenting on others' work
