 * Once the wikispace was created, the teachers added to it the organizational features unique to each class period.


 * Library instruction:**
 * Classes came into the library and the wikispace/features presented.
 * Etiquette conversation (deleting other's work, public place, demonstration of learning)
 * Students logged in and added to the wikispace
