=How to use the Traffic Safety Education Wiki=

Structure of the Wiki
We have attempted to structure the Wiki as clearly as possible. The main sections of the Wiki are:

Home - brings you back to the front page of the Wiki

Articles - presents articles pertaining to the philosophy of traffic safety education and GTSE Matrix

Curricula - presents 4 curricula aimed at different age groups as well as several sample assignments that teachers can use in their own classrooms

Videos - presents some piloting and best practices videos that were filmed during the project during which the Wiki was first created

Project Information - presents the background of the Traffic Safety Education Wiki

How to use? - this page

How to use the materials?
The first thing you should do, if you are interested in incorporating some of the materials of this Wiki in your own training/education, is to read the background articles in the Articles section. Make sure that you understand the hierarchy of the GTSE Matrix and make sure that you apply the sample assignments in a way that tries to reach the higher levels of the matrix (discuss, reason and make students think).

How to submit my own ideas?
Each page of the Wiki has a "Discussion" link at the top. Click this and you will be taken to a discussion page that allows you to discuss the contents of that page with other users.

If you have teaching assignments that you'd like to share, you can edit the Wiki page and add it in, following the format of the other assignments. Try to be as clear as possible so that others can easily adapt the assignment to their own needs.

Do I have to register?
In order to edit the Wiki pages, you will have to register as a user. The Traffic Safety Education Wiki (safetytraffic.eu) is hosted at Wikispaces.com. This means that when you click on the "sign in" or "register" links, you will be registering to the entire Wikispaces.com domain. Safetytraffic.eu is one of many Wikis hosted there, but you can mark it down as one of your favourites which makes it easier to find in the future.
