=Hi Welcome to Daniel and Luan's Presentation=



For todays workshop you will: ---/---
 * 1) Learn about what is a wiki
 * 2) Attempt a small collaborative project using the wiki
 * 3) Then we shall discuss the uses, pros and cons of wiki usage by you and your students
 * 4) Enjoy yourself

Our Topic for this Collaborative Activity is "Global Warming"


 * Global Warming** refers to an average increase in the Earth's Temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, human and animals. Thus when scientist talk about Climate Change, their main concerns is about Global Warming caused by human activities.


 * Climate Change** is the long-term average of a region's weather events lumped together. For example, it's possible that a winter day in Melbourne could be sunny and mild, but the average weather – **the climate** – tells us that Melbourne's winters will mainly be cold and include snow and rain. Climate change represents a change in these long-term weather patterns. They can become warmer or colder. Annual amounts of rainfall or snowfall can increase or decrease.

These two terms are not interchangeable so use the proper terminology!
