toc = Registering =

To register or open an account in Wikispaces, follow these steps:

1. click http://www.wikispaces.com/

2. click the "Wikis for Individuals and Groups" button



3. fill in the three fields and then click the "Join Now" button Then wait for a "confirmation" message in your mail Inbox to be able to activate your account in Wikispaces. Follow their indications.

**ViP:** "jot down" somewhere you'll remember and safe your username, password and the email address you indicated; make this a rule in all future registrations



Here's an **example of a registration** of mine: The three fields are filled in.

After clicking the "Join Now" button I got a message about the confirmation email (with the yellow background below)

After confirming my email address, I am informed that my email was confirmed (message with the yellow background).

= Creating a wiki =

In your **account page** (example above: you're taken automatically to it after your email address is confirmed), click the "+ Create a New Wiki" button (top right) and fill in the requested fields. (See images below.)

Follow these steps:
 * give your wiki a name (simple and without spaces in-between
 * choose if the wiki is Public (open to anyone and editable by anyone) or Protected (open to people you invite; they can also edit your wiki, if you so wish)
 * select the type of wiki
 * click the "Create" button

In "Wiki Type" you may choose K-12 or Higher Education. It's "ads free". However, Wikispaces may send you a message asking you to confirm that you are in one of these options. It's not complicated at all.





As soon as you complete the "Create a new wiki" process, you're taken immediately to its homepage and can start working at once. :-)
