Vocabulary+Fall+2014

Follow the directions here to create an interactive dictionary for our class. Your group is responsible for finding digital images, definitions and if possible video examples of the words you've been assigned. Remember don't just copy and paste information. Make sure you actually understand what is being defined and write in your own words how it applies to our class. Make sure you find visual examples. Nothing more boring than a page full of text! Read the resource pages on this wiki to start out with. You might find some of the answers there. Read your handouts too, more answers may be there.

Here's How to Complete the Assignment.
1. Click the plus sign to the right of the word Pages and Files over to the left side. Title your page with your day and section and group number. For example: Group 1 would be called: A1 Group 1

 2. Click the edit button in the upper right hand corner.

 3. Click inside the web page and type the vocabulary words your group is responsible for. SAVE

4. Now start researching your words and find visual and written definitions for each term. Some of these words apply to photography and video. Try to find definitions and images/videos that are specific to video if possible.

 5. To insert an image click the edit tab at the top right of the page and then click File in the middle. Select the image you've saved to your desktop. SAVE

 6. To insert a video into the page click the edit tab at the upper right, then click the widget tab. Choose Video Widget at the top left. When you copied your video from the web you had to get the embed code from the website (see my demo for how to do this). Once you have the embed code paste it into the box that pops up. You'll see a gray widget box. When you save your Page the actual video should show up and be watchable.

7. Remember to keep saving your page after each edit. When you are finished with your edits Come back to this directions page and highlight your group number below. Click the link tab at the top (looks like a chain) and link your group name to the wiki page you created. This will be an internal wiki page. SAVE

RESOURCES:
Make sure you list the links to the pages you used and site your sources for information. To create a link copy and paste the web address into the copy of the page. Highlight the words and click the link tab and choose external website and make sure the webaddress is listed in the box. Click ok and you've made your web address a hyperlinked resource.
