We started the class by reviewing some basic concepts to ensure all students understand why they do, what they do on the computer. Then we reviewed the three different ways to add an image in Weebly and how to add a YouTube video.
Web Browser Tabs and Windows
Web browsers let you have multiple tabs and windows open so you can surf and view multiple websites at the same time. It's kind of like having your notebook and multiple books open on your desk at the same time. You can access any of them without losing your place.
If you open a new window (rather than a tab), you can find it in the "task bar" at the bottom of the window (Windows XP).
Mouse - Right Clicking
When you "right click" on an something with your mouse, it displays a list of things you can do with the item. This changes based on what you are right clicking on.
Weebly - Inserting an Image
There are three ways to upload an image using Weebly:
- My Computer: You can upload a photo from your computer. These might be photos that you took yourself or photos that you downloaded from the Internet.
- Search: Weebly provides you with a collection of images for free. These photos are available via a Creative Commons license requiring attribution. Weebly will add an attribution link automatically to your website footer.
- Image URL: You can include an image from the Internet by entering the URL of an image somewhere on the web. The file must be a JPEG, GIF, or PNG. To do this, you can open a new tab, do a search using Google Images (or Bing Images). Make sure the image is on it's own page (with no other text or images on the same page). Copy the URL of the image and paste it into Weebly.
Weebly - Adding a YouTube Video
To add a YouTube video, you need to click inside the blue box, but outside of the existing video (in the white space). The YouTube video box appears. Copy and paste the YouTube Video URL in the box. Once again, click inside the blue box, but outside the existing video (in the white space) and the video will load. NOTE: To get the YouTube URL, you can click on the "share" box below the video you're interested in.
