 * =General=
 * ===**If I use the wiki for my oral presentation, do I still need to come to ASU in person to present?**===
 * No.
 * ===**May I turn things in and/or finish before the due date?**===
 * Absolutely. Early work is always appreciated, though you should keep in mind it does not mean that you will get final "results" sooner.
 * ===**Can someone look over my work before I'm "done"?**===
 * Yes. Most program managers are more than happy to give your work the once over and provide feedback as long as you submit early. "Early" does not mean three hours before it's due. A week or more is ideal as it will give you time to address feedback and make changes.
 * ===**Where can I find more information about completing TaskStream Portfolios for my CPR instead?**===
 * You can find more information at your program's website. Keep in mind that some of the general information, such as the timeline and contacting your committee will not be applicable in this situation.
 * Guidance and Counseling
 * Curriculum and Instruction
 * ===**When will I know if I've "passed"?**===
 * Though it will vary, you should receive feedback within a couple of weeks, and likely sooner.
 * ===**Should my TaskStream portfolio be completed the same day as my wiki?**===
 * No. TaskStream is not required if you complete a wiki page.
 * ===**If I'm not done with my courses, is my wiki still due on the same day?**===
 * Not necessarily. Please contact your program manager to make appropriate arrangements.
 * ===**What happens if my wiki page doesn't meet expectations?**===
 * You have a rubric for a reason. Use it to make sure you're staying on track. If you still aren't sure, contact your program advisor for a once-over.
 * ===**After I submit my wiki, will there be time to make changes before the final grade decision?**===
 * No, there probably will not be time for changes. That is why it is so important to try to finish early and receive feedback prior to your final deadline.
 * ===**What do I do if I need an extension?**===
 * Contact your program manager as soon as you realize you may need one.
 * ===If I complete my wiki page, do I still have to complete a written TaskStream portfolio?===
 * No. The wiki takes the place of your TaskStream portfolio.

> = Return to Top =
 * =Getting Started=
 * ===I can't find my invitation to the wiki...Help!===
 * Your RamMail account has probably sent it to either your junk mail or even the trash. Be sure to check there. There is also a time limit. After thirty days, the invitation expires and must be resent.
 * ===When I sign up for an account, should I create my own page?===
 * No. You do not need your own page. For the sake of organization, there is a wiki for each semester. Once you sign up to use the wiki, a page is created for you on the wiki for your term.
 * ===Do I need to share my page or join a group?===
 * No. All of the wiki pages are housed in the wiki for your term and are viewable by others already.
 * ===I'm in. What should I do first?===
 * The first thing you should do is thoroughly read ALL of the information provided to you, so you can decide whether you wish to continue and make sure you understand what you should be doing. After that, decide which principle or competency you will focus on, and begin filling out your Topic Proposal Form.

> = Return to Top =
 * =Requirements=
 * ===What criteria needs to be included or addressed in my page?===
 * Depending on your topic, this may vary. The components that should be on every wiki page, regardless of program, are:
 * 1) A title
 * 2) A small introduction explaining the format of your wiki page. Is this intended as an e-conference, a workshop, etc.?
 * 3) What standard/competency you are addressing
 * 4) APA citations and a reference list
 * ===Is there a certain type of media required?===
 * No. Use what makes sense and works best for your topic.
 * ===Is there a certain amount of media required?===
 * No. However, a successful wiki page will probably have a combination of text and media.

> = Return to Top =
 * =Proposal Forms=
 * ===What is the Topic Proposal Form for?===
 * The topic proposal form lets your Program Manager know that you are on track. It tells them what to expect from your page and allows them to tell you whether or not your topic is appropriate and aligning correctly with the competency or principle you chose.
 * ===How do I fill out my proposal form?===
 * The file is a rights extended pdf. This means that you can type into it and save it to your computer for your records. Then, attach your saved form to an email and send it to your Program Manager.
 * ===Do I write down what my presentation will be over?===
 * Yes. Think of it as an outline to a paper. You may not know every detail that will be on your page, but you should have and be able to explain the direction you are hoping to go, and things you plan to cover.
 * ===What does the proposal form mean by "format"?===
 * The format is how your information would be presented in "real life" if you were to share your information with others. Would it be a workshop? An inservice? A presentation to your school board? A lecture or e-conference?
 * ===Who do I send my proposal form to?===
 * Your proposal form goes to your Program Manager through Blackboard.

 * =Designing Your Page=
 * ===I have no idea what to put on this page. Can you help?===
 * It's really going to depend on your topic and format. It might help you to travel to the portal and view the work of past students. Just remember that since you won't have the opportunity to present in person, so your page needs to speak for itself. Others can only see what's on your page and what seems intuitive to you may not be obvious for others.
 * ===What is the difference between linking and embedding?===
 * A link will simply show text that a person will need to click to go to a new place to view your content. When you embed, the content is already there. See below.
 * Crazy Koala Fight

 * ===I'm having trouble getting started. What should I do?===
 * First decide what topic and competency you will address. It might help to fill out your proposal form ahead of time, or even draft an outline, just like you would with any other presentation or paper.
 * ===What should my finished page look like?===
 * Your finished page will vary depending on what your topic is and what format (i.e. workshop, e-conference, PTA meeting) you choose to use.
 * ===How can I learn about working with the Wikispaces tools?===
 * WikiSpaces has it's own help, and you could also begin with the powerpoint below.
 * media type="custom" key="19408294"
 * ===Do I have to use widgets to attach or embed my files?===
 * Yes.
 * ===Should my page include me talking in a podcast or video?===
 * Not necessarily. You will need to tailor your page to best express your topic.
 * ===If I use a Prezi, how long should it be?===
 * Like any other presentation, it varies. Say enough that your point is clear, but don't ramble or try substitute quantity for quality. Your reviewers will not be fooled.
 * ===Does my Prezi need an accompanying podcast or "voice" explanation?===
 * If you think it would add clarity, then yes. Those can also be put into your prezis.
 * ===Are there any sample Prezis I can view?===
 * Yes. The following have been used for ASU counseling courses and curriculum and instruction artifacts. Additionally, the Prezi website has a ton that have been provided by Prezi and its users.
 * []
 * []
 * []/
 * ===Do you have any suggestions for free online video/audio software?===
 * Many computers, particularly Macs have software built in. If this is not the case for you, check out www.anymeeting.com. It's a free site that you can sign up for. It allows you to record yourself and your voice and you can also use it to record screen sharing. It will generate a link for you to access your recording. That is also free.
 * For audio you can use []. This site allows you to use a phone to create an audio file with a link that can be used on a wiki page.
 * ===How do I upload images or documents?===
 * You may use the images and files button on your editing toolbar. You may also create a free Google account and use Google Docs to generate links or embed codes.
 * ===What types of files are acceptable? Are there any that are prohibited?===
 * Nearly all types are acceptable. A general rule is that if it shows up on your wiki page, you're probably good. You may not use PowerPoints (.ppt) unless they are a source. Also, please refrain from using Publisher (.pub) files as many may not have the software to open them.
 * ==How do I create a hierarchy of bullets or numbers?==
 * Make a bulleted list. If you wish to move one in, place your cursor before that text and hit tab. If you wish to move a bullet to the left, hold shift and press tab at the same time.

 * =Troubleshooting=
 * ===I can't open the forms I need. What should I do?===
 * You may want to try a different web browser. If that does not work, email your Program Manager for a copy.
 * ===I've forgotten my Wikispaces account information. Who should I contact?===
 * If you remember part of it, you may be able to work with WikiSpaces to gain the other half. No one from ASU will have access to it. All that can be seen is the username you used on your account. If you can't remember any of it, you will need to create a new account.
 * ===I'm trying to add/embed a link or file, but I only see a gray widget box. What's wrong?===
 * All widget boxes appear empty and gray until you save your page. If you are not in edit mode and it is not working, it is likely that your code was not copied correctly.

> = Return to Top =
 * =Finishing Up=
 * ===I've finished my wiki page. Now what?===
 * You need to copy the link to your page and paste it into the text & image portion of your oral presentation artifact in Blackboard assignment link and submit it.
 * ===Who do I send my link to?===
 * Your wiki link goes into Blackboard.
 * ===Where do I find the link to insert into Blackboard?===
 * Travel to your wiki page. In the address bar at the top you will find the link to your page. Copy it and insert it into Blackboard. For more help, see other questions in the Finishing Up section.
 * ===I have submitted my oral presentation in Blackboard. What now?===
 * Unless you have filed for an extension and made other arrangements
 * ===When I finish my wiki, do I submit everything in Blackboard?===
 * Yes, unless you have filed for an extension or made other arrangements with your Program Manager.
