Step 3: Create a Course Wiki
Start a [|wiki] for this class. Make a **new space** that includes your first name (example: **//dan-intropsyc//**.wikispaces.com). Check [|here] if you're not sure how. Do the tutorials and watch the videos on wikispaces.com. Follow the instructions to create your own wiki. Then invite me (dan.ondich@sobrietyhigh.org) to be a member of your wiki.  NOTE: If you were taking this course last quarter you must email your wiki URL address to me again.

Your course wiki will serve several functions for this class:
