Getting Started with PBworks Summer Camp: Introduce yourself!

 

Create a Bio Page

We're going to create Bio pages to introduce ourselves and get to know a little bit about other campers. It's good to include your name, the grade that you teach and some fun things about you. Here is my sample bio.

 

Please follow these steps:

  1. Create a page, title this page "Name - Grade Level"  (Michelle - 7th grade)
  2. Once you've created your page, click edit and add information about yourself.
  3. Put your bio in the correct folder!!!!! 
  4. Add your name to the Camper list for your grade
  5. Link your name to your bio page

 

How do I edit the page?

Click "edit" and type - just like you would using Microsoft Word.  When you're done, click save.  You can always re-edit your page, so don't worry about making a mistake.  If you want to review the page history (every version of the page) just click the page history link at the top of your wiki page.

 

How to put my page in the correct folder

We're grouped all campers into grade levels.  You can see a folder with your grade level on the right hand panel.  Make sure to place your bio into the correct folder!  Don't know how to move a page into a folder?  Here is a quick video instruction

 

How do I add my name to the camper list?

Each grade level has page where campers should 'sign up'.  This is where you will record your completed homework, so it's important that you add your name here.  These 'camper pages' are located in the folder associated with your grade level. You can find your camper page here: 

 

To add your name to your page simply click on the link to your grade level and edit the page with your name.  Hyperlink your name to your online profile - your facebook page, your twitter, classroom blog or classroom wiki.

 

 

How do I link my name to my bio page?

To link to your name to your bio page, first type your name.  Next highlight your name and chose the world icon in the toolbar. You want to link to a PBworks page that you've already created, so just chose your page from the drop down menu.


Questions?

Please don't email Kristine unless there is a serious problem, (It's near impossible to respond to 1,000+ campers!). Most questions have been answered on our FAQ page. Head to our FAQ page to ask questions and find the answer. 

 

Note: spelling mistakes are not a serious problem! :)

The video for explaininghow to move my page in the folder didn't show up at the link. The usual place where I can choose to put a page in a folder says I don't have permission to change the folder. What should I do?

Librarians, thank you. Is it being controlled or am I being dense?

I had the same problem, the folder option never came up and it ended up in Camp Resources instead of Elementary

I have the same problem as Lydia. I don't have the option to put a page in a folder. The text states "You don't have permission to change this page's folder.

I am at a loss. The email I received sent me to this page to "get started on the workspace and create a page to introduce yourself. Learn exactly how to do that here!
". Am I missing something?

Someone edited the page and removed the content -- easy enough to revert back to the original. I am going to lock the page to prevent this from happening again.

I also could not put my page in the appropriate file; and was not allowed to move it; the "help desk" essentially said they couldn't help me with that problem, but they did tell me how to create a new page & put it in the right file in the first place -- so if you want to start over, go to create a page, and just below the location for the page name is a box that says somehting like pick a folder & if you click there you get a dropdown menu of folders. Good luck.

If anyone who does have authorization wants to delete my page Cath -- Grade 8 feel free -- I can't seem to delete it myself.

How do I add my name to the class roster? Apparently I'm missing something here! I created a bio page, but can't move it to a folder.
