Community portal
From Wikigogy
Community portal? Are you lost? Was to be a place to communicate about Wikigogy, connect with teachers in similar teaching situations (see your Local page, too) and coordinate.
But I realized we are all Droids and that whole "portal" thing only works in science fiction and Wikipedia.

Get involved
Wikigogy is a place for teachers of English as a second or foreign language to write (here's how) and freely share lesson plans and teaching ideas
- Anyone can create and edit the pages -- click a existing page's edit tab or create a new page.
- If you don't want to change a page because you feel you might be changing its original intent, start a new page instead.
- If you copy text into one page from another, please say so in the edit Summary field of the edit box on the destination page and include a link to the source page there. This helps honor the site licenses' attribution clause. Better also copy the names from the bottom of the source page and paste them into a note on the destination page's talk page and include in the note a link to the edit's diff. (Use {{helpme}} to ask for help if you don't know how.)
- The Recent change page, linked under community in the left column, shows what has been worked on recently.
- The Want page is a place to say what you want on Wikigogy; ask and someone may provide.
- Create a page and start writing your TEFL/TESL stuff, tips, whatever is relevant to your teaching and potentially useful to others.
- Goals and non-goals show what we do and don't want.

Wikigogy site Admins have a few more administrative powers and duties than ordinary site Users.

When you edit a page, your browser can work as a spell checker. Use British or American spelling but don't convert pages from one to the other unless you are otherwise editing the page. This policy is discussed at spell.
