Welcome to Building Your Online Agenda! Below, you will find step-by-step directions for creating this page. When you have completed these steps, you'll find that you will have a great looking agenda with working links to all of your presentation activities. For the page creation, we are going to work from a template that was created for this purpose. 

• Login to SchoolCenter by clicking on this link:  http://www2.yisd.net/education/admin/.  You'll need your User ID and Password to do this. 

• Once successfully logged in, a window will pop up with your web page information.  You will want to click on Edit Website as shown below to begin editing your web pages.

First, it's important to understand the difference between Edit Mode and View Mode. 

Edit mode allows you to make changes to your web page.  For most of your work in SchoolCenter, you will want to be using Edit Mode.  To toggle to Edit Mode, click on Edit Mode in the gray bar at the top of the screen.

View Mode allows you to view your page as the public will view it.
To toggle to View Mode, click on View Mode in the gray bar at the top of the screen.

You will want to be comfortable toggling between modes.  You will notice that if you are in Edit Mode, the gray bar will give you the choice of "View Mode."  And, if you are View Mode, the gray bar will give you the choice of "Edit Mode."

Follow these steps to place an Agenda Template on your webpage:

• Click on "Edit Mode" in the gray bar.
  
• Click on Edit>Add A Page.  A new window will open.
• Choose a "Scrapbook" page.  Click "Add Page."

• Type a subdirectory for the agenda.
• Click "Done."  Your page will be created.
