 * WIKI STUDENT EXPECTATIONS** (Year 11)

Some groups are doing some good game development and asking questions about programming but most groups have not kept their wikis up to date in the first two weeks of second term - although lacey jane, pokehimon and gangstamax have kept up to date entries in week 2.

1) Invite the teacher to join your wiki so he can leave comments directly on your wiki. Click on Invite People and send an invitation to billkerr@gmail.com. Thanks.
 * Here are the expectations:**

2) Create multiple pages with names such as (vary to suit yourself):
 * home,
 * ideas,
 * game progress,
 * game downloads,
 * problems and solutions,
 * research,
 * links,
 * news,
 * GM tips

You might also like to have a page for each team member

3) Create a page that provides links to the wikis of other class members - find the URLs on the teachers wiki: http://gamedesign11.wikispaces.com/ Visit the other wikis of your classmates - you might find some good ideas there which can be adapted to your own game and / or wiki

4) side bar navigation - get it working - so its easy to navigate your wiki (click edit navigation link)

5) **//minimum of three significant entries in your wiki per week//** - all team members should write in the wiki and sign their contributions with a pseudonym

6) Each team member should join their own wiki - don't just use the one generic login

7) provide regular downloads of your game versions (once a week), which are named game1.gm6, game2.gm6 etc. - very important to keep different versions - then if you lose the latest version or it becomes corrupted you have not lost everything

8) provide screenshots of your game progress (at least one per week)

To Year 11's:

Plan to keep records of my comments on year 11 game progress here. These are teacher records but you can look and tell me if I have it wrong or have missed out part of your work. Thanks.

View http://africagame.wikispaces.com/ as a model of what can be done with a wiki and educational game design. I have been developing this over the holidays.

Go here to setup your own wiki: http://www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers which is free and free of advertising

I am asking you to record your work in wikis rather than blogs because they are better online spaces for collaborative work

Please follow the same rules that we established for blogging:
 * 1) don't use real names
 * 2) don't identify our school
 * 3) no bad language
 * 4) treat other with respect

Initially I have asked you for answers to 4 questions:

//Name of your game? ////What are you going to teach? Provide details ////How are you going to teach it? Details ////Who is your target audience? Identify at least one real person//
