Agenda:

 * What to do with the Wiki Home Page:
 * You can't delete it
 * One option: include an image and instruction to click on the INTRODUCTION page
 * How to find resources and tools on your own
 * Just do a web search! Keep it simple. For example, don't type an entire sentence into the search box, just the keywords. If you are looking for something interactive, include the word. e.g. slope interactive, or water cycle animation, or rock cycle game
 * How to insert images and files:
 * Copy/pasting from other websites will sometimes work, but it is not the best way. The image will not actually be saved to YOUR site, but being pulled from the other site each time it is viewed.
 * You will need to SAVE the image or file to your computer.
 * Click the EDIT button in WikiSpaces, then click the FILE button. Click UPLOAD FILE to add your file/image and select it from the menu once it loads. You can re-size it once it is in your wiki.
