I know this can be overwhelming but just keep plugging away and you will discover many uses for your wiki! You are doing great! This week I'd like to continue working on exploring features on the wiki. In addition, I want you to explore the resources provided by your great state of Massachusetts.

 * 4) Forums - is an online blog for Massachusetts teachers. Some of the discussions are interesting.
 * 5) At the top of the site click on Profile to verify that your information is accurate.
 * 6) Most of you have completed this step but if you haven't tried creating an avatar using the profile picture, check them out. The directions are different for each one. If you don't like these sites, you may search free clip art and save a picture and then upload that. If you click on "My account" at the top of your wiki, you will see a profile section. This is where you can upload your picture.
 * 7) Continue working on your wiki. Please send me an invite to join your wiki or email me the name and I'll request permission to join. This can be done under the "manage wiki" features. My email is lgallerani@longmeadow.k12.ma.us
 * 8) Some of you might be overwhelmed or feel that we are going fast. Remember, this is an introduction to online applications and resources that are out there for your use. Unless you use them all the time or frequently, they will take a while to learn. I am available any time you need me, Rm 54 or via email. If you are in a dire need, my cell is 531-1365.
