YouTube & TeacherTube
Is this a book or a module in one (such as ‎Assistive Technology in Education)? Furthermore, please keep in mind that encyclopaedic content belongs at Wikipedia and is outside the scope of English Wikibooks. --Swift (talk) 19:06, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * This is a graduate project. It is a book in one (User-generated video content)--KCurry11 (talk)


 * Could you please explain that a bit better? Will this content be hosted on YouTube and TeacherTube? Then what is the purpose of the wikibook? --Swift (talk) 18:07, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, here are our requirements and the purpose for our project. This will not be hosted on YouTube or Teachertube.

How to build a Wikibook page

There are six tasks involved in developing your Wikibook page in roughly the following order:

1. Research your topic, including citations, APA references, possible quotations, and external Web links. 2. Write your content in a neutral, encyclopedia-like tone for an audience of teachers, parents, education students, and other interested adults. It should have neither a formal academic tone, nor an informal, first-person perspective. 3. Format your content with appropriate main headings, subheadings, tables, and reference list. You’ll use Wikibook markup tags for most of your formatting. See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Talk:Assistive_Technology_in_Education for directions and examples of how to format your page. (Speed bump alert! If you haven’t done this before, expect a short, but steep, learning curve. Use the example site above as a model to learn what you need.) 4. Link your references and external links using appropriate formatting and markup tags. We’ll modify the normal APA citation and reference guidelines to take advantage of both APA style and Wikibook active links. The wikitext formatting page above gives good examples. The following page has excellent examples of how to handle a variety of references (you only need a few references and/or external links): http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Assistive_Technology_in_Education/Life_Skills. 5. Locate supporting images (one-to-three images) that may be freely used according to the Wikibook licensing requirement: Creative Commons Attribution, Share-Alike 3.0. You may want to select images from Wikipedia because they have already passed the approval process. Or select images from the nearly five million free-to-use images at http://everystockphoto.com. 6. Upload your image(s) to Wikibooks, enter licensing information, and format the display of your image(s) within your page. The upload file link appears toward the bottom of the left sidebar only when you are logged in.

There are two more tasks to complete this assignment. You’ll enter two kinds of information on the Discussion page (also called the Talk page):

1. You and your partner will enter a sentence or two detailing each of your specific contributions on your own Discussion page (also called the Talk page). This allows the instructor to properly assign individual credit for the project. You may identify yourselves by initials or first names if you prefer not to use your full name. 2. You will read and comment briefly on two other pages in our class Wikibook. Again, make sure you identify yourself to your colleagues (name or initials). --KCurry11 (talk) 07:06, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. I'm still not sure as to what this book is supposed to be about. It still reads a bit like an encyclopaedia article on these two resources. --Swift (talk) 17:20, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Swift, Sorry for the mistake. My professor helped me out now and I deleted my page. --KCurry11 (talk)


 * No, only administrators can delete pages. The page (and all previous revisions) still exist. See the welcome message above for instructions on how to request to have a page deleted.
 * The module currently exists in two versions and I've put merge tags on these. You need to merge them and then have their edit histories merged. --Swift (talk) 11:32, 2 March 2010 (UTC)


 * My contributions to this page include the History of YouTube/Teachertube, Features, and Educational Value. I've requested that the previous page be deleted. --KCurry11 (talk)
