Class Posting Directions
These instructions are for Class Instructors:
A) Login
The link at the top of the website that says “Teachers Lounge” will take you to the dashboard if you are logged in, or to the Login Page if you are not. If your “Teacher’s Lounge” button is not working you may login or get to dashboard here.
B) Class Lisings > New
From the Dashboard, hovering over the “Class Listings” tab on the left navigation an arrow will appear to open the tab. When open click on “New.”
C) Class Title
You can enter your class title in the “Enter title here” field at the top of the page. Please keep titles relatively short. See other class listings on the site for examples.
D) Class Descriptions
Your basic class description will go in the large text area directly below the title field. See Paul’s class postings for examples.
E) Class Info / Custom Fields
Directly below the description field you will find the class info / custom fields. These are pretty self explanatory. Formatting examples are given if you hover above “What this?” (PLEASE FORMAT CORRECTLY.) All fields must be filled out. if it doesn’t apply you may place N/A in it’s place. For the Google Map Url field you will need to go to http://maps.google.com/ and put in the class location address and find it on Google Maps. After you find it, look in the right hand corner of the map for a link icon. Copy the link from there and paste it into the Google Map Url field.
F) Categories
You will notice that “Classes” is already checked. You need to leave that checked and now check two others: 1) The State; and 2) The Practice. Don’t check any other categories than those. You should have exactly three categories checked now.
G) Edit Date & Time
Now up in the upper right hand side of the page you will find the Publish Box. In it you will see a small calendar with the words “Publish immediately” next to it. Click on the Edit button Next to it and change the date and time to that of your START DATE. Note: clock is in military time, and if your classes start after the new year, the year needs to say 2011, not 2010. Click “OK” when you’ve done that.
H) Double Check Everything!!!
Now click on “Save Draft” and then double check to make sure everything is filled out fully and correctly from A-G. If everything is correct, you are ready to complete your class listing by clicking the “Publish” or “Schedule” button. Note: if your class is a currently running class, the blue button will say “Publish,” however, if your class is in the future as most will be, the button will change to say “Schedule.”
