Today\u2019s workshop and lab will introduce Scalar, examine various uses for the platform, help us understand the six basic Scalar elements (page, object\/media, path, tag, annotation, comment),\u00a0and get us started on installing and creating a Scalar site.

By the end of this lab, participants will have created a Scalar test book, added objects\/media, made tags, made pages, made a path, and annotated media.
