Wiki: I moved the wiki. It's new home is: http://hillcrest-yearbook-08.wetpaint.com
There is also a link to it in the sidebar. Use the menu on the right to create a new page (Add new page), and click the EasyEdit button at the top of the page to edit it.

In today's class we are going to get organized: we will figure out what all of the pages will be in the Yearbook and assign them to individuals or teams.

Class Assignment

• Create group page on wiki
• List the pages of the Yearbook that you are responsible for
  
• Make a task list: what content do you need to get and when?
