I'm a webadmin all right now you can tell you're a webadmin if you go in and you see all of these modules here so I must say you're a regular user not a web your home screen here might look a little bit different and that's a okay because we're recovering today how you build out Pages applies the same to web Emmons and teachers are at just where you're going in and adding those pages is the real differ I'm trying to get into that in a second I know how do we get to the pages module down here at all right now here we're here we're going to see category pages and personal Pages all right and this is what I was talking about before now a web admin here is going to see these category page these are all of the pages within your school site here and inside this organizational system here in a second you go over your personal pages high-end these are your personal painted these are your own little slice the site every single and the user has their own personal Pages they can go ahead and so if you're just a you know a regular user and you go down to a page manager pages are you going to go right here you're just going to see the others personal Pages section here we can go in and start adding a Vulcan paid when I burp it you know a lot of teachers will go ahead add pages for individual classes a little about me page photo album calendars things like that links to other Pages outside of the other website if need be so this little slice this site if you are a teacher recovering how to build out content within a page today so once we get into that it's going to be the same thing if I'm going up here and adding a page here is going to be the same thing as I'm about to high like with web admins a building out a page with in a category in a section right so if you are a teacher and you're coming here to learn how to build out a page just bear with me for a second here when we look at some other stuff you for whatever and we'll get into actually building a paid which applies to every all right so we can I come here to pages all right now here are category page like I said before these are all of the pages that live within your sight all right now let's get into the organizational structure of this all right now but if you talk to anybody at Leo about how we organize our sights you might have heard this before but I think about your site as a filing cabinet okay now you know you going to a website you're going to have punched a Pages once you've been directions to go into there okay so again your website is a filing cabinet at first off we have the categories he alright these categories are like the drawers within your filing cabinet here right now so you have up to six categories to use play with any of the names edit these and go out here and edit these I'm on the side here is completely up to you and your team now again category filing cabinet drawer open that drawer now that we are here in the clubs and after-school activities category down here you can see all of our section are the sections are the next level in our organizational structure filing cabinet drawers to open that drawer clubs in activities were open that drawer and right here we have all these sections these are the folders with in that filing cabinet or all right so you open one of these up Russian Club here all right now these are the individual Pages these are the pieces paper I live with inside the folder that live inside of the filing cabinet drawer that live inside of the filing cabinet right so easy way to kind of think about how our pages are structured how you can go ahead and organize things within your site all right now again we're going to go back here to our clubs and after-school activities category with all the sections here I'm going to go ahead and create a new section here for a new after-school Club here are section give it a name do the film club now here we go right now we haven't added anything else if I click this public link
