 * Welcome** to the Make and Take Informal Assessments Professional Development Wiki.

We want you to be able to access all of the files that we share in the professional development. We also hope that you will continue to share your classroom files and experiences throughout the year. Information to help you use this wiki is listed below. (The directions sound much more complicated than it is - we will help you at the professional development.)


 * Organization of Files**
 * Each file has multiple tags. These tags are not always exact. For example, a file tagged Algebra 1 may not directly correspond to an Algebra 1 Tek or Power Standard. Tags on this site are similar to the broad approach used in the resource Probes book for math.
 * To see the tags, use the pull-down menu to the right of the word **Page** at the top of this page. Choose **Details and Tags.** Click on any subject you wish to see. Any file that has that tag on it will appear in an alphabetical list.


 * Downloading Files**
 * Use the pull-down menu by **Page** at the top. Click on the **Details and Tags**. Click on the tag name for the files for your content area.
 * Click twice on a file name.
 * Choose **Open** or **Save**.
 * Use the 'Back Arrow' on your browser to close the file. If you use the x in the upper right hand corner, it will close the Wiki and you will need to reopen it.


 * Posting Discussion Notes**
 * Click on **Discussion** at the top of the page.
 * Choose **New Post**.


 * Uploading Files -** Before you upload a file, make sure that the name of your file indicates its content. You can change the name of your file by right-clicking on it and choosing **Rename**. Type in the new name in the box that appears. Now you are ready to upload it on the wiki.
 * Click on the **Manage Wiki** link just above the Search box in the left-hand sidebar.
 * Click on **Files**.
 * Click on the **Upload Files** button.
 * Click on **Browse** and locate the file on your computer. Click on that file.
 * Click on the name of the file you just uploaded.
 * Find **Tags** in the new screen. Click __edit__ and type in the tags that should be associated with the file - algebra 1, geometry, MMA, algebra 2, precalculus, grade 6, grade 7, grade 8, kindergarten, grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, and/or grade 5. Be sure to click on the comma after you add each tag.
 * Use the 'Back Arrow' on your browser to return to the welcome page.
 * Check your work by downloading the file using the tags you just added to it.
