Posting+to+a+Wiki

There are several ways to post to a wiki. The most important thing to remember is that **you must sign in to the wiki in order to make any changes.**

=**Editing an Existing Page**=

After signing in you will see a tab that says 'edit.'  Once you have clicked on the edit tab you will see a box that says 'editor.' Use the tools in the box to edit your text in the same way as you would use a word processing program. **Remember to click on 'save' when your edit is complete!**

=**Creating a New Wiki Page Using Our PD Template**=

Click on the link that says 'new page' on the left side of the wiki.

You will be asked to enter a name for your page. Choose a title that describes the content of your new page.



Select the 'Professional Meeting Evaluation Template' from the drop down menu and click 'create.'



You will see your new page with our blank template. Complete the template by filling in your information and your review of the professional development workshop. Make sure you tag your page - see the instruction page called 'Tagging for Dummies' for more details on tagging. Remember to click 'save' when you are finished!



Your page has been created. Now you need to find the correct page to display the link to your PD review from the navigation bar on the left side of the wiki. For example, if your page focuses on high school math, select the 'secondary math' link. You should see a table on the page that looks like this:



Click on the edit tab once again and enter your personal information into the table. Next you will highlight the text you entered in the name of presentation column. Find and click the 'link' button on the edit bar.



A new window will appear. 'Link Text' and 'Wiki' should already be complete. Click on the box labeled 'Page Name' and find the name of your wiki page. Click 'Add Link.'



Congratulations! You have now linked your new wiki page in our PD database. If you return to the wiki page for your subject area, your page title should now be blue. This means that the text is now a link. You can test your link by clicking on the blue text. The professional development review you created should appear.
