 * ===First, what is a wiki?===


 * The Falcon Collaboration wiki will offer everyone a chance to give input to make our school even better.
 * Next, watch the video below (sorry about the sound quality). Then click on "Join this wiki". **Parents:** when you choose a username, please include "parent" somewhere in your username. For example "smith_parent" or "mary_parent" so we know who is posting. **Students:**for the same reason, please put the word "student" in your username. For example, "dan_student" or "jenny_student". Thanks!

1. **Use copy and paste to save time!** 2. **To create a new page:**
 * TIPS:**
 * Don't bother retyping your information. If you have trouble copying and pasting certain things, hover over the arrow connected to the "Save" button, choose "Wikitext Editor" and enter your information. It looks a bit messy, but when you hit the "Save" button you can reformat your work.
 * click "new page" (see left column)
 * give your new page a **//unique//** (but short) name
 * add your information
 * hit "save"
 * now link to it from another page (if you don't link to it, no one will be able to find it as it will be "orphaned")
 * Here is an instructional video to help:
