Hello ISTE sig1to1 members!
These are instructions for you to create a forum discussion. Doing so will give others a chance to talk with you and others about the topic(s) you choose. Any replies to a forum discussion you have created will initiate an email to you so you will know that you've received a comment.
When you sign up for the ISTE sig1to1 Community Network a profile page is automatically created for you. You can get to it by clicking the "My Page" link in the menu across the top bar. This page will let others see your profile, your photos, your videos, and any posts that you have made. They will also be able to find your discussions there, or by clicking on the "Discussions" link in "Quick Links!" box on the right-hand side of any page on the network.
To create a discussion:
1. Join the Ning, or if you are already a member, sign in.
2. Click on the "Forum" tab at the top of the page.
3. Click on the "Start a Discussion" link on the top right side, below the menu bar.
4. You will now have a form to fill out. First, put the title in the "Discussion Title" field. Then, in the "Post" field, put your description or question. Now (this is important), please choose the appropriate category from the drop-down field entitled "Category." Then in the "Tags" field type in descriptive tags for your discussion. If you have files that you want to upload, do that in the "Attach File(s)" fields.
5. Click the "Save Changes" box on the lower right side of the page.
Congratulations! You've created a forum discussion. Now, you will notice that if you click on "My Page" you will bring up your profile page, and your discussion will show on the lower left side, under the "My Discussions" header, as will any other discussions you create or comments you make on other discussions.
