The ** Help ** link at the top right of the wikispaces page is really useful for all the basics. I strongly suggest you have a look through there if you want to know how to get the best out of this site. This picture shows you just one of the pages in this link. Sharon asked a question about uploading files recently. To find the answer, go to this page.

**You need to click on** **the down arrow beside your username**** at the top right of the page ****, then on //My Account// **

**Beside account type you will have 'Free'. Click on** //**View Upgrade Option.**// **Click on //K-12// ** Click on // Single K-12 Educator // **Click on //Apply// underneath VT Educator** ** Complete the form. Don't stress about the accuracy of the detail - it's just for their records. A made up website will do too. **
