 * Welcome to the ** **World Languages Teacher Wiki! **

= FAQ  = =What is a Wiki? =

A Wiki is an online space where teachers can share resources and have discussions. =Why do we have a Wiki? =

A Wiki is a great space for sharing resources! Sometimes it can be difficult to have time to collaborate in person, but a Wiki allows us to share ideas and resources anytime. =Who will maintain the Wiki?  = Anyone is able to edit the Wiki. It is of course optional to use and/or edit the Wiki, but it will only be as useful as we make it.

How do I edit a Wiki page?
Step 1: Adding a link To edit a page, click on the EDIT button in the upper right-hand corner. Next, use the toolbar to help you add a link or a file to the page. To add a link, click on the Link button, and then on the "External Link" tab. Paste the address into the Address area, and add a title into the Link Text area. PLEASE ADD something into the Link Text, usually the title of the webpage. This prevents us from having to see a lot of ugly, long links on the Wiki! Finally, click Save and your link should appear on the page.

Step 2: Adding a file Again, click on the EDIT button in the upper right-hand corner. This time, choose the File button from the toolbar. Click on the Upload Files button on the right hand-side of the pop-up window. Upload the file you would like to add to the Wiki. (NOTE: First, please make sure your filename is short and is something others will understand.) Make sure that it says to EMBED the file, so that the file will be on the Wiki and not be hosted only on your flash drive/laptop/etc. The file will appear on the Edit screen as a gray box. You may want to make the gray box smaller so that your file name fits neatly into the Wiki. Finally, click Save and your file should appear on the page. 

Using the Discussion Tab
On each page of the Wiki, there is also a tab for discussions. The discussion section is a great way to interact with teachers about the resources on each page. You can ask questions, or leave comments about how useful a particular resource is or how you used it in your classroom.
