TECH GUIDE FOR EDITING THE SLIDESHOW WIKI

RESPONSIBILITIES as a group

You will manage your time AS A GROUP. Each member has a chance to place at least one captioned picture in the wiki. ONE PERSON AT A TIME works on the group’s page.

You will support each other’s work so that, for example, people who are relatively skilled with technology will assume a SUPPORTING (not bossing) role at the keyboard.

When everyone has had a turn, meet as a group to critique and revise your work as necessary. as an individual

Be as bold and creative as you can, while CONSTRUCTIVELY contributing to your group. You will be responsible for at least one picture and one caption.

> Select your picture(s) before you get to the computer, plan how you will get them on to the computer (for example, email to yourself → access your email from the computer → download to desktop → place into “gallery” wiki by uploading). > Pre­plan your caption(s) BEFORE you are working at the keyboard.

Try to reach your highest possible level of self­efficacy; for example, if you needed a lot of help adding your first picture and caption, see if you can possibly add another one, working more independently.

PROCESS

1. Briefly meet as a group and LIST NAMES IN ORDER for turn­taking on the computer. The person who is most confident can go first while others watch; then, one person at a time will work on your group’s actual page while others plan for their own picture and caption.

2. Before you go on the computer, select the photos you will use (minimum one, maximum three) and plan your caption(s).

3. Transfer pictures. At the computer, first, transfer your selected photos to the computer desktop. If you need help, ask a member of your group or an instructor.

4. Use a Web browser such as Chrome to visit the project folder in Google Drive ( https://goo.gl/6bPZrp ) and then click to enter the folder YOUR_WORK_AREA.

5. Work on the slideshow wiki. Double­click to open the Google Presentation called “ISI 2016 好地方 Hǎo dìfāng Learner Workspace 1.” CAUTION: THIS WIKI DOCUMENT IS EDITABLE BY ANYONE. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERWRITE THE WORK OF OTHERS.

6. Insert image. Using the navigation pane at the left, navigate to the wiki page that belongs to your group (find the correct colored dot). When your page is active in the main pane, click on the surface of the page and then use the “Insert” menu on the Web page to place your picture: Insert / Image… / Upload (blue button) / (use dialogue).

7. Resize and position image. Select your uploaded image (one click on image) and grab a corner to resize. You can grab and move the image by clicking and holding the surface of the image, then release once it is in the position you want.

8. Add a caption. When your image is where you want it on the page, use the “Insert” menu to add your caption: Insert / Text box / (cursor changes to +, drag on surface of page to form text box, type or paste caption).

9. Option 1 for typing your caption. You can type in Chinese! First pulldown in the Keyboard menu at upper right to choose the “Pinyin ­ Simplified” keyboard:

Then type your entire phrase WITHOUT SPACES and see if you get the characters you were

expecting. You might have to use your arrow keys (on keyboard) to move through many possible character options.

10. Option 2 for typing your caption. Try Google Translate! It doesn’t always work perfectly, but here

is an example of a good result, ready to copy and paste:

ADDING EXTRA PAGES If a wiki page gets too crowded, you can add an extra page for your group.

On the new (duplicate) slide, you can click­and­drag to select multiple objects (or click one object and then shift­click remaining objects), then use the “delete” key to free up space on the new slide:
