=This is the Head Page! Kids can create their own pages and link them to this site! It can have an overview, links to uploaded forms and documents, and directions!=

Important things to know: 1. You can invite anyone you want to edit this page. 2. Wikispaces can be viewed by anyone in the world 3. Your kids could create "satellite" pages and they should only invite their class teacher to be a member (i.e. editor). Only those two can edit content and post comments. 4. You could list links to kids's pages in the Navigation table to the left. 5. See a sample student page/blog to the left.

Need Help?

 * Click on the help link above to learn more about how to use your wiki.

=How can I create accounts for my students?= Once your wiki is on our free K–12 Plus plan, you can create up to 100 accounts at a time with our User Creator tool. You will **not** need to provide email addresses for your students when you use the User Creator Tool:
 * 1) Navigate to your wiki.
 * 2) Select **Manage Wiki**.
 * 3) Under People, select **User Creator**.
 * 4) Choose the wiki you would like to add the users to.
 * 5) Enter your list of users as text, or upload an excel or .csv file with usernames and passwords. Email addresses aren't required to create accounts. Keep in mind that every Wikispaces username must be unique. Try using numbers, or initials, or a first name-last name combination to create unique usernames.
 * 6) The User Creator will guide you through the process of setting up your accounts. If you have any questions, send us an email at help@wikispaces.com.

If you have more than 100 students, just go through the User Creator process with different lists of 100 names.

=How do I set my wiki to Private?= If you want to make it so that only members of your wiki — you and your students — can see the work that is posted to your wiki, you want to set your wiki to //Private//. If you want your wiki to be visible to the public, so that your students' family and friends can see their work, but still keep anyone but wiki members from editing pages, you need to set your wiki to //Protected//. You can make either change on your Permissions page:
 * 1) Navigate to your wiki.
 * 2) Select **Manage Wiki**.
 * 3) Under People, select **Permissions**.
 * 4) Select Public, Protected, or Private and hit **Update**.

=How can I keep students from editing my page?= Just set the permissions for the page to **Locked** and only you (and other organizers of the wiki) will be able to edit it:
 * 1) Navigate to your wiki.
 * 2) Select **Manage Wiki**.
 * 3) Check the pages that you don’t want students to edit.
 * 4) Hit the **Lock** button.

If you ever want to open that page up to student edits, it’s just as easy to unlock the page:
 * 1) Navigate to your wiki.
 * 2) Select **Manage Wiki**.
 * 3) Check the pages that you want to unlock.
 * 4) Hit the **Unlock** button.

You can also lock an individual page by selecting **Lock** from the down-arrow menu on the Page tab.

=Can I restrict viewing or editing a page to a single student?= Not at this time. You can change your wiki-level permissions, but all wiki members will have the same type of access.

=How do I change the look of my wiki?= Change your theme:
 * 1) Navigate to your wiki.
 * 2) Select **Manage Wiki**.
 * 3) Under Settings, select **Look and Feel**.
 * 4) Select **Themes and Colors**.
 * 5) Choose one of our premade themes and color palettes, or hit **Preview and Customize** to set your own custom colors.
 * 6) When you're happy with your selections, hit Apply.

Change your logo:
 * 1) Before you begin, have a .jpg, .png, or .gif of your logo ready, set to the correct size (we recommend 140 X 48 pixels). The logo will be displayed at its native resolution; in some themes, very tall or wide logos may push the page contents off the screen. When a custom logo is applied, it will replace both the bonsai logo //and// the wiki name, so we recommend putting your wiki name in the logo image itself.
 * 2) Navigate to your wiki.
 * 3) Select **Manage Wiki**.
 * 4) Under Settings, select **Look and Feel**.
 * 5) Scroll down to Logo and hit **Browse** to upload your file.
 * 6) Hit **Save**.

You can see this in action in our [|video tour] on personalizing your wiki.

Oh, yeah--my daughter says hello! The picture takes awhile to load--that's because its a big file size (even though I shrunk the pic dimensions). For better results, delete this pic and upload smaller ones.
