Teacher+Website+~+Edline

Are you ready to take your class online! We now have access to a quick easy way to do just that using Edline which is now used for all Webster Parish schools websites. Below you will find resources to help you create your class website, edit your portfolio, and more.

START HERE: Step by Step Walk Through Videos
Each of the below videos are less than five minutes in length. You will have a site up and running in no time! Go to www.mindenhigh.com to get started.

Step One: Creating Your Account
Before you get started, you need your activation code. Check your email for a file with all teacher's codes, or see Mrs. Dick. Watch this video on creating your account. http://screencast.com/t/i5WCPNhS1bBG

Step Two: Finding Your Website and Editing the "Main Box"
Now that you are logged into the site, you need to find your class websites which have already been created using jPams and Edline. You can decide how many websites you would like to keep for your classes. You may want only one or one for each different subject. There is only one place on the created websites that need to be edited for each class you see listed, the "main box." After that, everything you do can just be multiposted on all your pages. Watch this video on finding your websites and editing the "main box." http://screencast.com/t/kIWTNcBFl

Step Three: Adding "Boxes"
Im sure you would like to personalize your site by adding other features which are called "boxes" in Edline. When you add boxes, you can choose from a variety of types such as links, slideshow, blog, or document (shown in video example). Watch this video to personalize your site using boxes. http://screencast.com/t/Ux6fFgYp97

This video will walk you through using Pixlr to create an image for your website. [|Pixlr] is a free website similar to Photoshop without all the bells and whistles. The example demoed is for the "Main Box" on a teacher's class website, but you can easily see how this can be used for most anything you wish to create. http://screencast.com/t/7taQpA7a
