//Service Class 2011-2012 Home Page// =//Welcome to the 2011-2012 8th Grade Service Class Wiki!// =

Here is the place to share your experience with your classmates and give advice to future 8th graders.

First time??
 * look in top right corner for the word "join,"
 * click on that, fill out the form, click the new "join" button,
 * and wait.
 * I will get an email from you and approve your request.
 * And then you're off and running.

If your project is appropriately categorized in //more than one group//(e.g. working at Thorncroft is both working with Animals and People with Disabilities), put your full entry in one group and then put a very brief entry on the other page referring or linking the reader to the main entry. //If your project is not represented by a category at the left, email T. Jon//

Please click on the appropriate page link at left to share the following:
 * the name of the place you worked
 * their location
 * how to contact them
 * a brief description of what you did
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">why it was good to do
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">a short excerpt from your journal
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">a picture/video/sound clip of you or your project in action
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">advice you would give others considering or planning to do this project
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">your name and school year (2011-2012)
 * ===<span style="color: #800080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Beyond that, please embellish, embroider, and accentuate to make your entry distinctly and creatively yours. Please leave other people's entries untouched (if you think their entry contains an error, please contact them and/or me.) ===

<span style="background-color: #eeafa5; font-family: Georgia,serif;">PLEASE BE CAREFUL NOT TO HIGHLIGHT OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK AND THEN START TYPING OR PASTING IN YOUR INFORMATION - THAT'S HOW MOST DISASTERS HAVE HAPPENED.... <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">There is more technical information on how to use Wikispaces under this assignment's listing on Moodle <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">but basically, click EDIT and start... <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Don't forget to SAVE when you're ready. Both EDIT and SAVE are in the top right corner (off the screen of my laptop...)
