Today we will work on our playlists. The draft of the playlist is due on Friday. Follow these steps:
First, use the Add Content option on our site to begin composing your playlist. Once the posting opens, you will want to get comfortable with the following composing strategies. In class, we will try them all, and then you can use them as you continue to work. I will first guide us:
Images: Upload an image. You must first have an image ready to upload. For this assignment, we will make sure that we either use images that are permissioned for re-use or we will link to the image. When searching for images, you can adjust the search to find only images available to re-use. Then you can download them and use the Image icon on the toolbar to upload them.
If you need to use an image you don't have permission for, you can link to it. You will need to be in Source mode on the web posting. Use the codes available here.
Links: To add a link, simply use the link icon on the toolbar.
Styled text: To change aspects of a section of text, you can use these commands. You will need to be on Source mode.
Embedded media: You will need to be in Source mode. Copy the embed codes from the media piece you wish to use, and then paste them into your playlist in the correct location:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ilKaYj8Jjaw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Once you have these various moves down, you can move on to begin working on the playlist. Be sure to save frequently.
