We're making new year's cards in our class and I was looking for information. This completely threw me off.

This is a [|space] where you can experiment with all of the buttons to see how easy it is to use this wiki without having to worry about damaging content on the "real" pages. Edit away! Insert pictures, create links, and save them. This is your play space! No throwing sand, though! Try it out! user:batorbro user:SarahPcat cool! user:kimdebraHow do I change it so it doesn't say my MSU user name?

 * You can type three tildes (~) to automatically insert your username and avatar like this** user:chericem1.

Here are a few additional hints to help you:


 * Photo Hint #1:** Don't put any spaces in the file name of your images - create a copy with a one word file name (or rename your photo) so there are no spaces in your file name. Otherwise your image may not display. **[|ckendall]** [[image:http://www.wikispaces.com/user/pic/ckendall-sm.jpg width="16" height="16"]]


 * Photo Hint #2**: Once an image is uploaded, click on the page where you want the image to be inserted, and then double click the image from the library on the right. If you click and drag, only a thumbnail gets inserted instead of the full image. **[|ckendall]** [[image:http://www.wikispaces.com/user/pic/ckendall-sm.jpg width="16" height="16"]]

Have you found the **Recent Changes** page yet? You can see what pages have had recent updates and by who, and if you click on the //Switch to Discussions// link you can see the discussion pages that have been recently changed, too.

Okay Here I am playing in the sand box, Yay! user:LindseyKarle Hi Lindsey!! user:barnar18

I inserted this table here so you can practice adding and deleting rows and columns. To insert, click the arrow that is pointing in the direction where you want a new row or column to appear. To delete, put your cursor in the cell you want to delete, then click the X. user:chericem1

Ok guys, I think I'm getting the hang of this thing!user:nutterky

How do I make my picture small enough in size to be able to download it as my new picture?user:winokurk you should be able to resize the picture using MS paint! :) user:knappla1 THANKS! i'll try it user:winokurk

Ok so this wiki thing is well.... really weird to me for some reason. Mostly because I can't get over the name, but I am trying:) I hope everyone's first days are going well. My only shock has been that Christmas break doesn't happen at my school until the 22nd of December :( Soooo Crazy!!!! Hang in there and see you on Friday. user:drosteb1 Brittany, same goes for my school! The first OFFICIAL day of Christmas break is in fact Christmas DAY (b/c it's a monday, right?). That is so not cool, but we'll be alright. SEE EVERYONE FRIDAY! Have a great Thursday! user:whitesa6

Glad to see that so many of you have figured out how to log in, change your settings, upload your picture, post things, and sign your posts! Now let's see if we can move the discussions to the discussion forum! (Hint: Click on the gray "discussion" tab next to the page tab above.) user:chericem1

Dear TE802 family. I have finally joined your ranks as a full-fledged sandbox dweller. The sand here is very fun to play in! I will see yall laterng, but first I have to go rinse this sand of and get ready for class. here I go to try to sign out. 3 tildes right? user:rachelklomp Okay then that didn't work. Maybe it has something to do with me not knowing what "avatar" means. Ha! Guess I'll ask in class tomorrow... This is Rachel Klomp BTW:)

Hola todos, I hope everybody's first day went well. I'm a couple hours into my 2nd day at Haslett and all is well. The students here are incredible. Maybe it's just because I have 80% freshmen and they are still shaking when they walk down the hall. Right now I have just been assisting my C.T. for the most part. I think I'll take on my first lesson next week. Since they solely use TPR and TPRS here our 4 sections of Spanish I are still learning the basics as am I. I finish my day with a section of Spanish III and I never thought I'd be so happy to see upperclassmen. That's all for now. Megan my best suggestion is just try to learn names and create relationships with the students, especially ones that you see you may possibly lose. Good Luck! user:AnthonyFontana

P.S. I worked with an independent study student all 1st hour and I gave him some links to check out but he really wants more. So now I have a reason to practice linking and maybe it'll give you all an opportunity to link something and help out one of my students.

How was everyone's first day of teaching?? Hope everyone got the chance to actively participate in their classrooms and get to know some students.

Hey yall, I would really like to start teaching sometime soon!!! I have my first day planned, but I can't go over the syllabus the next day because we have to get it reviewed by admin first. I'm getting confused as how to proceed with the next couple of days, when we actually do start! Any suggestions?? This is Megan by the way!

Hey Megan! If you have to wait to do your syllabus stuff, maybe you can still go over procedures, rules, bathroom passes, homework policies...etc. In our class, we are going to do some SIMPLE greetings. I wish I had the handout with me (it's at school right now) but it's a worksheet on how to be a good language learner. Maybe you can discuss as a class what helps a student learn a language better (e.g. get the general meaning instead of trying to translate word by word) or what makes a person sound natural (learning "fillers" like "ummm..." or "hmmm" in the target language).

Also, at the potluck, Cherice was talking about an activity to help students understand foreign language learning better. Students want to say complicated sentences in the target language and they get frustrated when they can't translate it properly because they don't know the vocabulary/grammar. They have to understand that they can still get their point across in the target language but they have to use simple words/structures. You can give pairs of students a complicated sentence in English and they have to put it in simpler words so that someone who is just learning the language (like a five year old) can understand. Instead of "I purchased the loveseat for my companion," they can change it to "I bought a couch for my friend," and it would still get the point across....sorry...the example is kind of dumb...but for some reason, nothing else popped into my head. Good luck! user:kimdebra Debbie

Hope everyone's first day is going well!! user:KMaiolatesi

Make sure to eat a well balanced breakfast tomorrow before your first day (I modeled an example for everyone) user:flanne13



**Hey! I did this!!** user:utawkin2me

Just trying this out. Where do I make my signature? And why when I put the tildes do tildes only show up? user:utawkin2meChristina Nevermind, I just didn't save.user:utawkin2me

This is a page about foreign language learning. It is cool to learn a new language. Yes! That is a picture of Whoopi Goldberg. I do not know if she knows any Foreign Languages, but perhaps she should.

just testing something

That sentence made a whole lot of sense? That cake looks yummy!! user:winokurk I am definitely going to update my picture, but I don't have too many on my computer. The weird robot head is just not that cool.

Hey, remember this? user:SarahPcat

I loved that cake. user:StephanieP

hhhhhhhhhhlbdlvbgvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv cccc cccccccc

My turn! I never really liked sandboxes as a child. Too hard to make castles without water and proper equipment.

But I'm sure this guy liked sandboxes...

user:StephanieP

i tried to load a picture that i took in new hampshire but it was gigantic. not good. it was of mountains, i'm sure you can appreciate the beauty. user:armst136

I don't know if you guys will find this funny but I thought I'd post it (to practice linking too). This is a Japanese comedy troupe who makes satirical videos on Japanese culture. I'm sure as language learners, you have all seen instructional videos on culture/language where the information is a little TOO technical. This one is about the proper way to eat sushi. [|Enjoy]. user:kimdebra

I think I just now figured out what is going on on this here web site

Hope this works!
