1. Changes you need to make to a PowerPointWorkbook before turning it in to Ms. Reed.

2.  Like anything else in any other class, you need your MLA style heading.  For us, this will go on the TITLE PAGE when in PowerPoint or the top left-hand corner when in Word or the Wiki Pages.  The MLA Heading Consists of:  Name  Teacher Name (Ms. Reed)  Class/Period (English 1P or 1H or 3P/Period #)  Date (written out) To see how, go to the next page 

3.  OR Use the INSERT tab to add a text box  Click and drag to create the box. Ariel Triton Ms. Reed English 1 P /0 9 September 2011  Use the HOME tab, DRAWING tile, to add a text box  Click and drag to create the box.

4.  All files returned to Ms. Reed via email or the wiki MUST follow the following naming conventions:  Period-Name-Assignment  0-Ariel Triton-Mind Puzzles  To do this either select SAVE AS from the OFFICE button and rename it. This will create two files.  To have only one file, save and close the file. Go to the U: Drive select ORGANIZE and then RENAME.

5.  I know the instructions for each activity, so when work is turned in, those pages are extra space that I do not need to see.  You will delete any slide that is instructions on how to complete the work, but leave all pages that are the actual work.  To delete, click the THUMBNAIL of the slide (it will be highlighted in orange) and press the DELETE key.

6.  Research has found a major link in improved performance and self-evaluation. Basically the better you recognize how you are doing and where you are with your skills and what you might do differently next time, the faster and more you improve.  There will be some common reflection pages as we start to write more, while other assignments will have specific reflection pages.

7.  Once opened, copy the page:  simply click on the THUMBNAIL and press CTRL+C  or right click and COPY  or from the HOME tab (left hand corner) in the CLIPBOARD menu click COPY  Now, simply return to your workbook, click between where you want to add the slide (a blinking orange line will appear) and PASTE:  CTRL+V or right click and PASTE or HOME tab PASTE If the page is a common page, you will have a copy saved to your U: Drive that you can pull up and insert. Other or assignment specific pages can be OPENED from the wiki the day they are needed.

8.  The directions will vary by whether you are turning the work in to be viewed by everyone or just Ms. Reed.  Generally, you first step will always be the same: UPLOAD to your PORTFOLIO FOLDER.

9.  If you received an email invitation, follow the LINK, create a password and then log in.  If you did not receive an email invitation, you must REQUEST ACCESS. You will have to wait until Ms. Reed accepts and send the email.  IF you could not make an email account, Ms. Reed will have to create a wiki account for you (which means you cannot change your profile picture or change your password…it is the account type usually used by grade schoolers).

10. To get to your PORTFOLIO, there are many paths. 1)You can use the PAGES and FILES tab to view all the folders that make up the Wiki 2)You can use the NAVIGATOR to scroll back to HOME and then to STUDENT CENTER 3)You can search the workspace for your name and the folder should appear (Last, First).

11.  You are only allowed to UPLOAD to certain folders, so if you cannot upload, you might not be in the right spot.  If you cannot see your folder, Ms. Reed has not granted you permission to be an EDITOR for it yet. Let her know and she will fix it for you. Refresh your browser when she lets you know she has changed the permission.  Once in your folder click the UPLOAD button, a file finder window will appear. Select the file and click upload. Please upload as a FILE unless told to upload as a PAGE (We will discuss those differences later.)
