• Paste onto new page

2. Re-upload images and files and embed them onto new page

3. Re-insert media files such as videos

 

Example:

 

This is a copy and paste... (click on file and image)   HOW TO IGOOGLE.pdf /

This is a copy and paste with new embedding (click on file and image)   HOW TO IGOOGLE.pdf /

 

HINT:

 

When embedding an image, there is an option for opening image or doc in a new page.

This gives a larger view of the image on a new tab that can be closed without losing your navigation and also gives the option to download a file to desktop

Once you have embedded the file, click on it in edit mode and click edit. Then, check the box at the bottom that says open in new window.

For example:

•    Main Idea
•    3 topics
•    Topic number one
•    3 points
•    Topic number two
•    3 points
•    Topic number three
•    3 points


ONCE A LAYOUT HAS BEEN DECIDED…

•    SET-UP TABLES AND ROWS


•    SELECT THEME COLORS
•    NOTATE COLORS' DEGREE POINTS

•    INSERT TEXT
•    SELECT FONT STYLES AND SIZE

•    EMBED IMAGES/VIDEOS

•    CREATE NEW PAGES
•    LINK THEM TO FRONT PAGE TEXT
•    OPEN IN NEW WINDOW


*TOPICS should be in brief: clear and concise. Key words and images can be used to grab interest.
    -Topics should be linked to a new page that has detailed imagery and information.  


Example:

TITLE OR MAIN IDEA
