Some students had no problem at all completing their drafts on the wiki, while others had numerous problems. Kudos to all of you, though, for the Plan B's that you all came up with! Here are some helpful hints when working with technology:

1. Always type in a word document first and save it. This way if the wiki won't save your work, you will already have a completed copy that you can paste on at a later time.

2. The wiki doesn't like Firefox (I'm not sure why it's so picky, but it is) so try using Explorer or Safari to access the wiki.

3. If you cannot paste to the wiki, save the word document and e-mail it to yourself (or to me) and you can paste it to the wiki when you get to class.

4. If all else fails, send me an e-mail and we can troubleshoot.

For tonight, you should be revising and editing your essay. If you were unable to post to the wiki last night, your first job is to complete the essay tonight and try the tips above to post.
