1. Turning Editing on and what you see

Now that you have made some initial decisions about the name and look of your class, it is time to start putting content in your class.  First  turn editing on by clicking on the "Turn Editing On" button, upper right corner of the screen.

You should see something like this in your course:

The top row, which has the News forum or Class announcements is the "header" of your class.   Here you can brand your class.  For example, you could enter, Welcome to 6th Grade Social Studies, or AP Biology or whatever makes sense for your class.  You can also upload images to brand your class. The boxes below the header are the topic boxes.  The topic boxes are where are you build the different units/topics of your course. Before we begin branding the course and adding contentt, though, let's take a look at the icons and what they do.
