The award was given to only one student in New Jersey. She is now eligible to win a national award. toc = = =Identifying Yourself= I would like to recommend that when you post to the wiki that you sign it using the following protocol: First name @ school name =Getting Started= We are delighted that Ridgewood High School offered the opportunity to open this wiki for you. We would like to encourage you to use this wiki not just as a platform to upload your final work, but to actually work in the wiki. Create your own page for your topic, insert and implement data, spreadsheets, photos, videos and text related to your topic. Share your progress of work and your ideas with others and use the benefits of international learning.
 * Welcome to the Energy Project Wiki!**

=An Introduction to the technical aspects= Once you start creating your own pages, they will not automatically appear within the navigation. If you want them to appear as a new page, click "edit navigation" under the navigation and insert a link directing to your newly created page. The linking process equally works for implementing new pages into parts of existing topic pages which helps the wiki to grow structured.

Once you click the edit-button of a page, a editor bar appears which contains all functions you will be able to use in order to design your page as you wish to. We might restructure some aspects of the wiki, but in the end it is your communication and working tool. We highly recommend that you subscribe to the email-notification that informs you about any changes within the wiki. Just tick the relevant boxes under [|this link]. For further help, use the help-function and read the next paragraph about support in general.

=Need Help?= Don't worry about mistakes. You cannot destroy anything within this wiki, we create weekly backups and everything is changeable anyway. If you're unsure about possibilities or need help, click on the help link above to learn more about how to use your wiki.

But whenever you can't solve a problem and you need further help, feel absolutely free to contact Bruce or Marius. We will try to sort things out as soon as possible.

=Your Coordinator= If you want to know a bit more about the guy who keeps sending you mails and is coordinating this project, just read on.

I'm Marius, 20 years old, working as a gap year student for the Global Classroom Partnership in the Shetland Isles, UK. I finished school in Germany this summer with a focus on science which can hopefully support the Energy project.

I'm really looking forward to let you design this international course dealing with the highly important topic "Energy". I highly encourage you to bring in your ideas, knowledge and experiences in order to get the best return in learning for yourself and your international colleagues.

I'm delighted to have assistance by Bruce Schwartz, former employee of an international IT-corporation on his way to become a teacher. He will support us in all IT-related issues and beyond. He initialised the launch of this wiki as a platform to run the project.

But enough said about us. Now it is your turn to use the opportunities of international education and start getting in contact with like-minded and equally interested students from the participating schools around the world.
