Some educators have assigned their students to try out authoring a Proteopedia page or two, just to learn the process, without making permanent pages in Proteopedia. Proteopedia has Sandbox pages where you or your students are invited to try authoring. The contents of these pages is not permanent, and may be erased or replaced at a later time. | Some educators have assigned their students to try out authoring a Proteopedia page or two, just to learn the process, without making permanent pages in Proteopedia.

If the page does not exist, there will be a red link on the resulting page. Clicking on the red link will create the page, which can then be edited. | ||
If you want to protect a range of Sandbox page numbers for a specified number of weeks, so that your students need not worry about other Proteopedia users changing their pages, please contact <email>eran.hodis@weizmann.ac.il</email> in advance.

How to assess completion of this assignment? One method is to require students to take a screenshot of their Sandbox NN page, and convey it electronically to their professor (via email, in a Powerpoint presentation .ppt file, via courseware, etc.).
