Welcome to Spike@School!

This page has been added by the staff at Spike@School to help you get started by walking you through making your first web page! Follow these easy steps:
 
Someone in your school should have been set up as the administrator of your website. Their job is to begin setting up other users in the Spike@School system. Get them to create a user account for you. They can do this by:
  1. Clicking the Admin System link at the bottom of the index bar on this page.
  2. Logging in with their username and password that was emailed to them by us here at Spike@School.
  3. Once they are logged in they should click User Management and follow the directions from there. If you want to edit pages on your school website your User Level should be set to at least Advanced Staff.
  4. You should recieve an email with your username and password as soon as they add you to the system. Now we're ready to make our first web page.

Making your First Web Page

Once you have your username and password follow these steps:
  1. Click Admin System on the index bar on this page. (You might want to print this page off so you can read it while you do the rest of these steps.)
  2. Enter your username and password and login.
  3. The place to go to edit this page and to make other pages on your site is: Content Management System so click on that.
  4. You will see this page "Welcome to Spike@School" listed in the Content Management System. You can click Edit beside this page name to change the contents of this page (we recommend this), or you can click Add a New Page to add another page to your website and leave this one intact.
  5. When you are editing or adding a page an editor will pop up and allow you to add contents just as if you were in a word processor.
  6. When you have finished making changes to your page click Save or Add. If you ever want to go back without making any changes click Cancel.
  7. Congratulations! You've just made your first page in the Spike@School system. Now it's time to explore the other modules to find out what else you and your staff can do. Our favourites are the Learning Caves and Staff HQ. These are learning and collaboration areas for Students and Teachers respectively.
  8. Don't forget also, that you can organise your pages on your site into Folders. Simply click Add a New Folder on the menu in the Content Management System.
We hope you enjoy using Spike@School as much as we enjoyed making it!
 
The Spike@School Team.
