2. After watching the video, browse through the Help Menu of wikispaces.com. Knowing where to look for help on a topic is very important when exploring a new tool!

 * You will see a discussion called "Tell us what you think." Click on this and a dialog box will open.
 * Type your comment in the reply box. What did you learn? What surprised you? What difference is there between a wikispaces wiki and other kinds of wikis? Any thoughts you wish to share are welcome.
 * The purpose of this homework is to show you that there is a discussion feature, and to make you more comfortable with finding it and using it correctly.
 * POST before you exit.
 * Click on "Back to Discussion Forum" and you will see that your reply is recorded.
