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;
• Type content to add in the space provided for you
• If you have technical problems click on the help button (right upper corner)

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.
