THE CHALLENGE
![Page 11: MTB - How to create a Bar or Bat Mitzvah Wiki for Free](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051210/54b30d2c4a795917358b4586/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
THE CHALLENGE
CD’s get lost or broken
CD’s aren’t green
It’s time consuming to manage & e-mail students MP3’s
E-mails get lost, as do MP3’s

THE SOLUTION
Dropbox or other “Cloud Storage” Solutions
But, those Dropbox links are still e-mailed to students... e-mails which can still be “lost.”

A WEBSITE
![Page 16: MTB - How to create a Bar or Bat Mitzvah Wiki for Free](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051210/54b30d2c4a795917358b4586/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A WEBSITE
As long as the internet is up and the website is up, the material is always accessible
As a result, no more excuses! No more “lost” recordings
A centralized place for all things B’nei Mitzvah related
A “Green” solution
Set It and Forget It (there’s only one Torah)

WEBSITE FRAMEWORKS

WHAT IS A “FRAMEWORK?”
Websites are built on a language: HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
Browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.) interpret the language into what you see as a “Website”
There are many ways to frame the language into something
![Page 19: MTB - How to create a Bar or Bat Mitzvah Wiki for Free](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051210/54b30d2c4a795917358b4586/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WHAT IS A “FRAMEWORK?”
Hebrew is a language
It can be framed in prose, as the Torah
It can be framed as commentary, as the Talmud
It can be framed in a song or a poem
![Page 20: MTB - How to create a Bar or Bat Mitzvah Wiki for Free](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051210/54b30d2c4a795917358b4586/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
WHAT IS A “FRAMEWORK?”
HTML is a language
It can be framed in “prose” as a simple text page
It can be framed as a searchable “blog”
It can be framed as a “portfolio” of photos and videos
It can be framed as a dynamic, searchable database
![Page 21: MTB - How to create a Bar or Bat Mitzvah Wiki for Free](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051210/54b30d2c4a795917358b4586/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
WHAT IS A “FRAMEWORK?”
Prose: Text Page
Blog: blogger, WordPress, tumblr
Portfolio: flickr, YouTube
Searchable Dynamic Database: Wiki

WHAT IS A “WIKI?”
From “Wikipedia”: A wiki is usually a web application, which allows people to add, modify, or delete content in a collaboration with others. Text is usually written using a simplified markup language (HTML) or a rich-text editor.
While a wiki is a type of content management system, it differs from a blog or most other such systems in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users.

WHAT IS A “WIKI?”
Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as “the simplest online database that could possibly work.” “Wiki” is a Hawaiian word meaning “fast” or “quick.”

WHY USE A WIKI?
Super easy to use
Many students are familiar with how it works because of the popularity of Wikipedia
The framework is free
There are hosting services which offer free Wiki space
![Page 25: MTB - How to create a Bar or Bat Mitzvah Wiki for Free](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051210/54b30d2c4a795917358b4586/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
WHY USE A WIKI?
NB: The use of a wiki for our purposes is not how it was originally intended
Wiki’s were intended to be shared, crowdsourced information, communally edited for content
We will be creating a closed Wiki (only you will be creating and editing content)
Its functionality is not predicated on others being members, just others having access
