=The Mission of THINKglobal ISD=

In 2008 an incredible group of educators were assembled to build a new school in Forney, Texas. This perfect storm could not last forever and the goal of this website was to keep us all together forever and add great new educator information along the way. We wanted to develop a basic primer for any campus so we could continue to share information over time. .

If you have no idea how a wiki works then we suggest you click this link to discover how ingenious this little tech app can be. If you are familiar with this process then you fall in one of two categories: reader or editor. The guidelines for both are listed below and it should answer most of your questions. Understand that the information you post needs to be generic and never contain names or personal information that violate the federal law: FERPA. If you would like to request editor rights you will need to contact the site administrators. As always, if you have questions be sure and let us know!

Thanks for visiting,

Best feature of a wiki is the ability to search the whole site with just one word. In the upper left hand box of each page you will find a search box. Just type in any word or phrase that references your topic and the site will instantly show you every page that may be able to help you find answers. || **Disclaimer** By allowing access to editing pages we give the user certain rights. We do not give a user the right to post inaccurate, illegal or unethical information. We will remove such information as soon as we are informed. Never post any personal information about yourself or others. Please read the FERPA website prior to editing. || The list of all our topics are listed in side nav bar to the left. You can search through the whole list or search by topic. All the topics and be expanded and collapsed depending on your preference. || **Style** Write your pages like you were coaching someone for the first time through this process. Your style should be simple, step-by-step and enjoyable to read. Dont forget the reader may not know the steps you took to get to where you are so start at the beginning and highlight the important stuff || All our pages are listed under All Pages to the left of the screen. You will find links within the pages. This again allows you to dig deeper into the material. The most difficult thing about reading instructions is getting to page 30 and having the author run into some obscure tangent. Now you can read more about that tangent on another page. || **TAGS: Extreme Importance** When you create a page be sure and create a **"tag"** or topic this page should fall under. Without a tag you will get lost in a sea of pages so create your tag! . The tags are the main headings you see in the green box to the left of every screeen. Examples: Administration, events, programs and teachers || All our pages are listed under "All Pages" in the green boxes to the left of each screen. There are sub catagories called "tags" that make it easier to navigate the pages. || **Extras** Link your pages and topics. If you know that there is a page out there that talks about something on your page LINK IT! Without links users have to hunt down information. The better your links the better your page. . Attachments, pictures, video really need to be used sparingly or linked to an outside source rather than housing too much on this site. We only have 2GB of space and who knows how long it will last. But by all means if it is great stuff get it on this wiki! . Respect the comments of your readers and keep your pages updated regularly . For a detailed explanation of all the tools you have at your disposal be sure and check out the [|wikispaces tutorial videos]they are great! ||
