1.+How+to+Add+a+Page

The following steps will guide you through creating a new page on the wiki. If, instead, what you really want to do is add a bit of information to an existing page, the tutorial on editing a page may be better suited for you. For example, if you are on another teacher's page and you think "wow, this is really great; I want to talk about what my students are doing too!" then creating a //new// page would be most appropriate. You don't want to put all your students' activities on Jane Doe's page! However, if you are looking at your page and you see a typo, then editing it is most appropriate, of course. If you want to add information to your page--perhaps your students just finished a really exciting project and you want to share the information with everyone here--you would also want to edit your page and simply append the new information. You don't want all your students' works to be scattered all over a hundred different pages.

If you are sure you want to create a new page and not just edit one, then please continue on with the tutorial!

Step 1: Click on the + sign next to "Pages and Files" on the right sidebar


A window should pop up prompting you for page name and tags.

Step 2: Fill in page name
====Your new page will be accessible based on the name you give it. For example, if you choose your page name to be //New Page//, then the URL (or the link) to your page will be http://www.birdsleuth-course-2012.wikispaces.com///New+Page//.====

Step 3: Edit your page
Note: you may notice that the background for this image is not the same as before; this is taken from an earlier example. The textbox is the same, though, so don't worry.

Step 4: Save your page
