Include a Reference or Footnote (Wikispaces)

1. Type in your text as per normal
2. Type this tag after the text at the place where you want to reference or footnote number to appear  

3. Type in the text that will be in the reference or footnote.
4. Type this code at the end of the reference or footnote.

And when you save you have your references or footnotes appearing at the bottom of the page.
They work like anchors, so that when you click on the number it takes you to the footnote, and when you click on the footnote arrow, you are returned to the text.

Wikispaces Distributing Content

I did it, I can do it now!

I was trying to figure out how to contribute to the content of our wikispace, from this blog or other URLs I have subscribed to in http://www.igoogle.com/> google reader and http://www.bloglines.com/ yesterday.

However, I also wanted to find out how to contribute content on the wikispaces from a blog on which several people collaborated. So far only 2 of us collaborate on this blog. In order to attract more collaborators I will send invitations to friends from my contact list in gmail/ google talk. Here is how I did it:

• On the right side of this post there is RSS (orange little square)
• Click on that
• A new page opens
• Copy the URL address from the browser window
• Go to the http://www.macned.wikispaces.com/, http://macnedstudents.wikispaces.com http://www.ide(a)cleadership.wikispaces.com/, ... or your own blog, wikispace, web site...
• Sign in to the space
• Click the edit this page button (right upper part of the window)
• Open the widget menu
• Select the RSS (orange little square)
• Paste the address previously copied inside the URL text box
• Save on the widgets window
• Save on the space page
• OUR CLASS (this blog's name) together with links to the previous post titles appears.

And that's all. This works with every other website/ blog that has the RSS support enabled. Check your google toolbar. I have created RSS from this blog on the Generation 3.0 http://www.macned.wikispace.com/.

Could you add to this please?

If you are interested to contribute content, comments, reflect, share experiences ask questions to this blog and the wikispaces, http://macned.wikispaces.com/ (for educators only) http://macnedstudents.wikispaces.com (for students)

• Send a request (on a wikispace window);
• Wait for your request to be approved by the organizers;

Optional: Experiment how to add a link to an external link, add a new page, add an anchor (link on the same page), insert images, tables, videos, voice threads, podcasts, slide shows and distribute content from your blogs discussions with RSS feeds.

• Remember, you contribute to the growth of the wiki by posting a question for discussion (right upper corner), participate in a discussion by replying to a question, or sharing your reactions to the previous discussion posts there.

We sometimes feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
