1. Log in** Once you provide me your email, you will be given log-in information to edit the wiki.
 * How to Post to the Wiki
 * Note - anyone can view the webpage, but only members can edit the wiki. This helps ensure the safety of our members from online predators.

 * How to log in:**

I recommend that you type in Word, and then copy and past your posting into the wiki for all of the following reasons: - I've **frequently lost information** typing directly into the wiki by clicking away from my work! - If more than one person is editing a wiki page at the same time, troubleshooting lost information can be complicated! - There is no spell check in the wiki - Special fonts used in Word paste directly into the wiki for a nice, individualized appearance.
 * 2. Create your work in Word**

A note on **CONTENT**:
 * All postings are subject to the school and classroom policies, and must be school appropriate.
 * For privacy and **safety** (from online predators), __only use first names__. Except for me, of course.*

To post, sign in, click edit page, and paste in your text. Note - hit "**SAVE**", not "SAVE DRAFT" - save draft will save a draft that does not display on the wiki. I will be able to see who has made edits to the site, when, exactly what edits, and remove/restore postings.
 * 3. Edit this page**

Notice the toolbar that appears at the top: - IF you click "**horizontal rule**", a line will appear across the page. This can be useful to separate/designate sections. - "**Insert link**" and "**remove link**" are for making hyperlinks to other websites (You can also insert hyperlinks simply by copying and pasting the url directly) - "**Insert images and files**" - you may want to download a picture or a document to the page - "**Embed a widget**" - can be used for embedding a youtube video, etc - "**Insert a table**" - hard to work with, but we will do this at least once in creating a study resource

Cannot edit the webpage** - have you logged in?
 * Troubleshooting:

If you type directly in the wiki, and click away from your work before you hit save, you may be able to recover the lost information by - returning to the page you were editing - clicking edit Hopefully, a screen will pop up that says “**Draft recovered** - we have recovered an unsaved draft of this page, created just now.” Your options are to -“**Load previous draft**” or -“**Discard previous draft**” "Load previous draft" should bring back your text.
 * Recovering __//lost//__ information:**
 * Note, this gets complicated if more than one person is editing on the page at the same time. I'm not sure

Sometimes, when a classmate edits the wiki they might accidentally delete your information. How can this information be recovered? - Click the **History** tab. You will be brought to a page that lists the edits, dates/times, and the authors of the edit. - **Select** the entry that occurred //previous// to your edit, and **select** //your// edit. The information you entered on the web page should appear, highlighted. - Use the mouse to highlight this text, and copy/paste it into a Word document. - //Unhighlight// the text - select the entire text by using your mouse or hitting (control + a) - Find the highlighter on the toolbar (if not visible, click -__V__iew -__T__oolbars -Formatting) The line underneath the highlighter chooses the color for the highlighting of the text - Click the **down arrow** to the right of the highlight icon to select "**none**"
 * Recovering information that has been mistakenly __//deleted//__:**

At the bottom of the navigation bar to the left, click “**edit navigation**” A webpage with hyperlinks will appear. Notice that it is in the exact order of the Navigation bar. To add a link to the list: Click the cursor in the location where you would like the new entry to appear on the Navigation bar. - Click “**insert link**” from the editor toolbar. - click the **down arrow** in the “Page Name” box - select the name of webpage you have already created - In the “Link Text” box, type the words you wish to appear in the navigation bar (please limit to 20 characters). - Now that all of the boxes contain information, click “**add link**” - Make sure the text appears as you wish, and click “**save**”
