=Widgets and Links= You can add many things to your wiki. You simply click Widget and you will have many options. This page has 2 widgets incorporated. It has the Table of Contents widget and a Youtube widget. Here are the directions on how to add these cool things and really be able to produce an interactive, safe learning environment. The directions below are from an incredible instructor Cheri Toledo. catoledo@ilstu.edu Twitter: cheritoledo =Links=
 * You can link any text or image to an internal or external link.
 * Linking an image to the source is a good way to keep the wiki design uncluttered.
 * A primer on shortening links in my blog: //**Cycling Through Ed Tech**// @http://bit.ly/f9oum0

Adjusting Widget Size
> Sometimes you need to increase or decrease the size of an embedded object. There are two way:

>
 * Use the + and - signs on the editor bar that appears when you click on the object

>
 * Change the size in the code
 * Locate the width and height - there will be two sets

> One of my favorite things to add is a Youtube video. If you create a wiki for your students and add the video here for them to watch then you don't have to worry about searching for the video or any adds that are on the side. Here I have incorporated one of my favorite videos. This is an Ikea commercial. =media type="youtube" key="tetOSMilRKg" height="390" width="480"=
