Getting Started
By Mr. Bignami
 * Click on the "New Page" button on the left to start your own page
 * Type the topic you were assigned as the page name. Then click "Create Page".
 * When the page opens it will work kind of like Microsoft Word. There is a toolbar at the top that lets you adjust the text formate, insert bullet points, insert a link, picture, or other widget (videos), undo or redo your last action, preview the page, cancel the changes you made without saving, or save the page.
