"How to Use a Wiki"
A wiki is a collabrative website that lets members work together to plan and share information. All Class of 71 classmates have permissions to edit and add information to the wiki pages. Even make a NEW page (click on the new page tab on the navigation bar on the left). Anything that interests you is OK....i.e. a sports statistics page? a favorite teacher page?Swinging night spots in Borger??? Each page has a set of tabs at the top that tells you the name of the page, there is a Discussion tab for EACH page, a history tab so members can see the latest changes. The navigation aspect of the wiki is limited to the wiki organizer, who is me, Patty Robie Snider, but you may click on the NOTIFY ME tab to send a message directly to me with any suggestions.

Also, be sure to keep your eyes open for any errors. When you are creating... you often miss common errors. So help everybody out! You wonder-spellers you. (Alas, I am not a wonder-speller).

Please don't be offended by the following directions. As with my teachers! ( not my students! :) I'm just assuming you know nothing just in case! :) Your "To Do" list....
 * 1: Add info to YOUR page:
 * 1) Click on your name in the navigation list. Your page will open.
 * 2) Click on the EDIT tab at the top right hand corner of the page to enter editing mode.
 * 3) Read the directions for each section. To REPLACE the direction text, click and drag across the text to highlight it, then start typing. What you type will replace the directions.
 * 4) To answer a question, click behind the question to set your curser; type a short answer there or hit enter to come down and start underneath the question.

To change your avatar from a grey square to a picture:
 * 1) Click on MY ACCOUNT at the top of the wiki page. This will show your profile page.
 * 2) You can click on the grey square beside your login name and replace it with a picture of ???????
