Arlington Education & Employment Program - Arlington Public Schools www.apsva.us/reep
Create all content – admin, tasks explained, netiquette, project timeline (shown here), peer review partnering for each week, etc, BEFORE building out the wiki. When all content is finalized and ready to post, THEN copy and paste to the wiki. You can create however many pages and sublevels as needed. Plan it all first so that the only thing changing from week to week is the content the participants are adding themselves, discussion areas, announcements, and resource pages. Also, plan where you can hyperlink to other relevant sections or to outside resources.
![Page 29: Beyond One Day Wkshp (post session version): TESOL 2010 (Cona/Moss of REEP program)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070316/5558e33cd8b42ab8168b4b62/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Peer review front page and subpages for each week (according to the alternating partner plan made ahead of time) were posted and linked to before the launch of the project.
During initial face to face workshop, participants completed an example peer review activity and discussion to walk through all tasks that would be expected of them each week.
