Each lesson should be labeled in the same way
Number ( identifying the order in which you created the lesson )Art form,Outcome Number I,II,III or IV, Reading or Writing Cluster, Connection Number 1,2, 3, etc., lower case a,b,c if you have more than one lesson with the same outcome, cluster or connection  Examples: **Uploading Lesson Seeds** You have three areas to look for information Resource page- This is where you can upload information that you think might be relevant to the group. Right now - you will find templates, document and links to resources for your use. If you want to add anything - go to edit at the top of the page- go to the file icon, upload- select from your source- wait a minute for the document to show up on the left hand side then click on the document itself- it will go to the page. If you want to add a link, type in the words you want associated with the link ie: Art curriculum and then go to the link icon at the top of the page. Select the link you want, select open new window and your source ( web) save and close. REMEMBER TO SAVE, SAVE, SAVE and also to sign out when you are done! The wiki will tell you if you did something wrong! Your Page is on the left hand column of the home page This is where you will place your lesson seeds- I have created a page for each art discipline with your name. When your lessons are done, simple open the page and follow the directions for uploading that I gave you above. Discussions On the home page, you will find double speaker bubbles with a number. Hit the button and click on the plus sign for add a post. You can post a question or comment on this. If you monitor the discussion, an email message will appear in your mailbox letting you know there is a response. It is very helpful -then you don't have to keep checking the site! Or you can email via the wiki also! Go to the black navigation bar on the top right side of your page and where there is a zero or number click on this. Follow the directions. You do need to know everyone's email address.
