So a wiki is a type of website. It is meant to be collaborative and CMSwikispaces is useful for that and for hosting very large files, but if you are ready to go to a nicer and easier website, you might want to try Weebly.  A teacher asked about it so I made these instructions. There are also plenty of online tutorials and instructions on the weebly site if you want or I can sit with you and walk you through the setup. Super easy and much more polished look than our old website.
Also you can use it for a secondary website or just a homework blog or parent blog site.

Summer is coming and you probably have been meaning to learn a few things you've heard about or seen this school year.

Tonya McGhee, talented PD Facilitator at Ridge Road made this Symbaloo of PD quickie tutorials. Check it out by clicking the ironically chosen image of the curious snail. Get it? cause snails aren't quick, but this PD is! Huh-larious.

Also remember you can use:
  • Atomic Learning
  • CMS Learns
  • or the How to video tuturial wiki
  • Youtube #2minutePDs
  • CMS PD Online Options
for other Personalized quick PD options.

I can make you a video tutorial, write you directions or do  1:1 or team training for anything you are looking for so send me requests if you don't see exactly what you are looking for or if you just want a real live person to walk you through!
