PostingRules

Dear EDUC 709 Classmates,

I've had a little experience with a class reunion page on yahoo and found that one can quickly get into a lot of mess just based on not organizing things by files and using a consistent naming convention.

I wanted to propose some simple rules (feel free to edit) just to get the conversation started. Once we come to a consensus that we can all live with, then we'll be able to better sort and find what we're looking for. Here are my proposals:

1) If you want to discuss the page or text, click on the "Discussion" tab and then post your thoughts. If you are responding to someone else's post, respond to their post. If you are starting a new discussion thread, create a new post (don't reply).

2) If you are not doing a discussion, but would like to add an article citation or new wikipage, save your page under the appropriate discussion page area (e.g. under Bowling Alone for comments on Bowling Alone). Remember to also insert a hyperlink on the original page so that people can link to your new page.

3) If you have found that you made a mistake, you can always fix it.

4) Always put a descriptive note in the page history log.

5) Use relevant tags so that your information can be easily searched. For example, I used the tags "file, name, posting, rules, draft, naming" for this page.

6) Use grids as needed to better organize our thoughts.

 **Below is a brief description on how to insert tags.**
