of additional quick links for example if you are changing images on the homepage you can swing over to Media and that the item in question will be shuffles that is what you will click on add the images so that they will be displayed on the school homepage so those are a couple things that we will touch on on the left hand side you'll see the menu button that menu button I'm going to refer to it as the hamburger click on that and you'll see a more detailed view of everything that you have access to now this could also be stated as the access Base information at all went to you as to what

am a site admin having full access to everything if you're not a site admin that might be Pacific labels that are situated right underneath that area and next to it you'll see that label edit access that just indicates to you that those are the specific areas that can work on you'll also notice that two-factor authentication and this is designed as a heightened level of security a basically is an extra padlock on the School site so basically the idea is it you unable that you'll be prompted to enter a code every time you log in and it just allows you to log in safely and securely so that no one else will be able to access your account now let's see if you do activate that and down the how'd you decide to change while you have the option to disable it so he can be activated today 3 months down the road you can take that out other things to be aware of you can adjust your password upload an image to that that will be attached to your profile so that anyone that looks at the staff directory there you have it nice image of yourself and you can just drag and drop it you can also click on I like the photo and pull your image Kia and you'll see those different cloud services that are listed you can utilize them to pull your image go ahead and close this up to again things that you can do in terms of how you would like things to be situated with your account let's highlight a couple things to be aware of in terms of posting events or content on to the school site that is why we're going to touch on next and to do that I'm going to click on the hamburger menu come to plan and click on calendars now with your school calendar the district it is pulling on a Google Calendar so anyone that managers that Google Calendar those items will automatically link to the school site where this the district or the other school site is automatic you'll just need to log into those Google account and make those changes and that is reflected automatically on the calendar other things to be aware of is about that integration let's say something not working correctly right hand side you'll see settings click on that and once you get to settings you'll notice that integration that's in plate right here Anna it will tell you if it's working if there's an error message pop up you might see that label here if you need to connect to another calendar let's see another Google Calendar you can take that out you will be required to enter your username and password and then select the appropriate calendar and once that's connected everything at push to the school site accordingly now for the other schools because since we are funded working from the district we are able to see those we're still not able to change them because as you click on any of these other schools like the middle school that integration of happened on their admin site so if you are from the Middle School to high on your side you'll be able to make those changes to that Google platform accordingly so there is a couple of things to be aware of with the calendar that is accessible to the public and where you can make the changes can something else to be aware of where the calendar we spoke about the calendar integration now you'll notice to Ikea at event the add event allows you to create an event manually so that it will be posted on the cow Honda but it does not sync with your Google calendar just something to be aware of if you're using the manual entry those events do not sync with a cool Google Calendar to utilize auction click on add event you can select as to where this event will live you have that listing of the different School make the selection title it once you tight if you can add the time and date at some little text and you can also click on choose a file and upload your images or documents and once you do that this item will be created and you'll be able to delete it add to it and just to kind of give you a visual of how that would look like as he will do that just for the district and will label this as a test event this is a test and let's upload a file or an image is upload an image click open as soon as you click on the image you noticed a little orange folder that orange border that you're seeing that just tells us that it's requiring the alternate text meeting that that to be in compliance with the American Disability Act we need to add a little destruction as to what this image is about type.in save it and now you get to go click safe on the admin site this is what we'll be seeing you can modify that you can delete it and also this will be accessible to your community on the calendar so again that this was posted on the events which is the district site and the public can see that this go ahead and delete it delete the calendar event that you have entered using the built-in just go ahead and click delete and this will be taken out very easily so those are a couple things to keep in mind since the integration is over play you don't have to worry about it unless you have access to those calendar then you'll make the changes and then it's reflected automatically on the School site any questions on the if there's no question on the calendar will go ahead and swing over to the homepage and on the homepage I'm going to dress as to how this specific area on the homepage function how do we add use items here I see you added used item noticed that there's a featured picture that can be placed here add a headline you'll add a summary public will click on that to see the details or we will take you to specific length like the YouTube so you have those option and then you'll notice right here the show old news items that are not featured on the homepage this is where they will reside show all news and now you have a listing of items here so let's talk about how to create those items we'll sing back to the admin site and to do that will click on the hamburger menu come to announce unless click on news and alerts as you click on using alert it will tell you that. top five items opposition on your homepage now these items on that little slider that we looked at you can move it around click under $8 on the left hand side and you can move it and rearrange what you would like the public to see first and all these items are movable pieces as you hover over and item you'll see some of the selection and we'll touch on them as to how they work items that are being featured on the homepage and again items or news stories being featured on the homepage will have that homepage tag if you do not see a homepage tag clearly that means that it's not on the homepage and it will be in line with that little description only the top five items are displayed on the homepage how to create a news item on the right hand side you can click on ADD news that before I do that on the dashboard did you see where we can click on that as well let's go to the dashboard just to highlight that you know this right here and use an alert I can go ahead and click on the adnews so that's a quick and easy way to create there is news item instead of clicking on the hamburger menu announced and using alert so that is the purpose of this quick links on your dashboard so let's go ahead and click on those add news on the very top items that will be displayed on your school site on the school homepage will have already been selected if you would like that news item that you're creating to live on any of the other school I didn't make up the selection once you make the selection the next step is to add a headline and that is a required she lets label this as a test event there we have it you showed summary does not have to be long but enough information should be placed and to kind of whet the appetite of your community so few sentences can be placed him so that will be the same sorry that the public will see and then as I scroll down take a look at the three tabs now all three times they have a specific purpose the very first one that I'm going to highlight is linked page now look at a few moments ago when I clicked on the homepage it took us to the YouTube site while this is the approach that was taken for that you supposed to be linked to Beach just add the site address in here and the Publix on it they're redirected to the site and to link to a file allows you to drag and drop a document only one document can be position over here drag-and-drop will you can click click on the upload and take a look at the different cloud services that you have here and with those clowns Services you

nice little palette and then choose your color do you have nice little green fire screen what else can I do with that content box while I can click on the mole and you'll see some of these other options that will be accessible to you can have cables you can add images I would like within the content now this little text editor that we're using is not as fancy as Microsoft Word or Google Docs but you can do sufficient here as to how your text will be featured for the public I know a few minutes ago I had stated that all three of these tabs they work separately but under content I can utilize this little click right here to create a length not just one but multiple links that the public can click on to access the site that I want them to go to for example like the word printing I will highlight that click on the play and then type in a site address let's say I would like everyone to go to google.com.. N Save It when this is feature to the public they will see the word printing on the line so that is how you can add that link So within the text of your content box has your scroll down take a look at this option if you would like to give you credit just fill out those to feel and then you'll notice attached files and photos now how will that behave go ahead let's go ahead and upload the first one and what is two things one you see around the image they will be the orange border will Ray mention as to what that is all about that is the ultimate text business for those visually impaired and then secondly you see that blue border featured not the future border let me go ahead and enter the alternate text you first of all save it the blue border is designed to show that image on the homepage so if I go to the homepage any item that is labeled as featured this is what the public will see what if I have other images that I am uploading but I'm not too sure which one to choose to be featured here how would that work well that's upload another image and let's say we'll go to a different planet still saddened but that's is the interquartile that's at label this as in a coal Saturn there we have it save it if I would like to send message to be display on the homepage just go ahead and click on it and take note of what has happened the featured voter will be passed on based on the selection that you're making so if I wanted the other image or this one just click on it and that is what will be previewed by the public again you can upload as many images as you would like and you can only select one that will be featured on the home page no just go ahead and upload it. I meant let's see it like a pedia I'll make that selection images of displayed nicely as an ISO preview whenever you're uploading other document types this is how you will be listed by add a file names so that is how the public will see it drop down list take a look at the delivery option now with the delivery option by default is selected as post now and expires never and once you save it it got pushed out onto the homepage but do you have the option to indicate the date and time as to when this will show up on the homepage and also as to when it will expire something to keep in mind with the exploration whenever you indicate the date and time it will take it out on the homepage but it will not delete it so again it takes from the homepage but that's not delete that post just something to be aware of as to how that expiration function let's go ahead and save it once you save it you have this link that will be generated that can be shared with the pub we'll go ahead to the school site the homepage less refresh over here will do that one more time and here's my little test event we're going to take a trip to Saturn and you see the movement right away if I go there this is what the public will see they can go ahead and click on show clicker on Tessa van and now we will be able to see the details of that event we see that attack W entered the way we dress it up we have this little hyperlink that the public can click on it will open up as a new tab you have the images here on the right and then the document and as you click on the images you'll see a much larger of you that is what will be accessible to the public that's close this up go back to the admin site and doubtless highlight that these communication tools one if you're tasked with posting that directly onto social media you have that functionality click on social media manager if this is already position you will see the accounts over make the salad you can also Define as to when this will go out and then you'll click on post now once you do that that's Pacifica news story that we have just created will be accessible either on Twitter or Facebook so you have that option to position that either on Twitter or Facebook those are the only two social media accounts currently accessible on the admin side if there are more that will come down the road you'll have you'll get a quick message and then you can add it accordingly so make your selection and then click on post the next item and you'll see right here everything has been posted when and you'll have that accessible to you if you need to add additional social media account click on manage accounts right here and double takes you to the settings and the this way you can connect two additional accounts if they need it either Twitter or Facebook pages will close this up and again this is accessible if you're using the social media manager and the social media manager can also be accessed by clicking on the hamburger menu announced and you'll notice right here social media manager this is where it will live the next option that I'm going to highlight is the home page alert now with the homepage alert it allows you to post an alert on your homepage by default this is a 24-hour window if you want to adjust that window just click on the homepage click on the date feel you have the little calendar that will be accessible and also the time can be changed once you click on to post this goes out onto your District site as you may recall I had added that that you have the other school see if you're working from the district site you can push out that new story on to the other school site and also push this item as an alert on to the other school site whenever the other school science sees that alert they will not be able to turn that off they will not have that functionality only those working from the district will be able to do that how will the alert look like let's go back to the school site and will refresh over here this is the public will see Tess event so let's say you have inclement weather and you have school delays you can push that out onto your school either District or on to the other school it will be seen in public. headline summary if they're satisfied with what they see they can cook okay if they need more information they can click on the read. I read that is how that will work let's go back to the admin site if you come to the newest listing like we are looking at right now you'll see that alert tag if you need to turn that off hover over it you'll see the announce Appalachia clickit I know you turn that off and that you have it this is gone and you don't have to worry about it so that is how that will function if you're using that homepage alert and also just as a reminder if you're working from the district push that on to the other school so those schools will need to be selected initially and whenever the other school seen those items that show up on the School site they're not able to delete them until the district has done so and that will also be applicable for that homepage alert any questions on what we have touched on so far let's wrap up with a using alert look like using alert Alicia as mentioned you'll see some of those selection that you can click on delete you know what that will do very straightforward that's highlight the disable the disable button is the sign for you to Archive certain news story that you want to reuse down the road for example you have events that are happening quite often and instead of recreating I do store what I can do is after it has on folded I'll go ahead and click on disable this will no longer be accessible on the School site again those items are not deleted their disabled and their push over here to the disable news listing to the right khonshu disable news there you have it you have a number of items that are listed if you need to reuse something while you can do some edits to it and then you can save and it will be there on your school site if you just to push it as is let's see every two months that there's a function on campus rather than rebuild that whole new story I could just push it out the day of a couple days before so that they will have the information that opportunity for them and that is what will be accessible to the public disable news of store over here not accessible to the public I'll go ahead and delete this and now this will be gone forever so that is how that can be utilized and you can push that accordingly to your community those new stories that you're creating any questions so far and what you have highlighted with the news stories and before I go any further I'm just going to do a quick check here to news alert so this is not being used as often let's go and highlight to on the media we'll talk about your Shuffle now under your Shuffle let's go ahead and click on that this is the main Shuffle that is that image that we see here on the on page if there's a need to adjust a whole add to it how do we do that all again once we get to the shuffle you'll see the title click on it there's only one image here on the I can't side you can add as many images as you would like now what is the idea of adding multiple images while you can create a nice little slideshow right now there's only one image that is what the public see so you can drag drop additional images and you'll notice right here the type of images that you can upload so that's in relation to that question about gift you know this right here you can upload yes so you have read option to the type of images those are the ones that that would look nice and that is recommended so there you have it the type size also and then that you'll notice right here on the right hand side shuffle Dimension that is the act you know this right here on the right hand side shuffle dimension and that has to aspect ratio now in regards to that question that you have uploaded multiple time to giftza just make sure that it is underneath that 15 MB asked if I may have certain movements it's so it may be above that so then that's a problem that's why I may not be working correctly so anything underneath 15 Maggie be is what's recommended and now you are able to upload accordingly so just got to take a look at the size of the file and if you still having problem just reach out to tech support maybe there's something that's where the file or something that's not driving correctly and will make sure that that I got for the song for you now on the right hand side as mentioned that is your Shuffle Dimension that is the aspect ratio as to what would look best so if you have folks that are comfortable with working with photos if you are able to follow through with that description while you'll have a nice set quality image that will be push on your school site on the left hand side if you click on slide layout you'll see right here that little crop button you can play with it and just not crop your image as to what portion of the image that you would like to be featured on the site you can also make that the image clickable like this one pushing to you too whenever the public likes on it this is where they end up you can add a caption to it click on the to add text and this is a very simple text editor that is provided datcu a text with foam at it and then you can position at bottom or top those are the options that you have and then on the right this is where you will enter your alternate text Will click on the left hand side you'll see slide transition if you have multiple images you can add those controls so that the public they themselves can I switch to the other images that you have uploaded and automatically it will create a slideshow for you and you see the duration transition in between images all that can be adjusted once you have done that save it and that will be displayed on the site any questions about we just highlighted the new questions let's go ahead and click on the hamburger menu still in the media I'm going to I like that these two items those are additional options where you can showcase multiple photo albums instead of having it on your homepage you can have a nice a designated place where your images are they displayed for the public and secondly you going to have a nice designated area where your videos are also accessible so those are things that can be done let's demonstrate photos forcible with photos you know on the very top personal and school photos if we have anyone here on the training is a teacher this is where you can go and add those so a specific photos and for your class and anyone that goes to your teacher page area they will see that and the teacher page the area is accessible whenever a person clicks on your profile on the staff directory so just to Kyle I like that a little bit and I'll just demonstrate that sofa example on the faculty and I think Sunday Department directory this is the staff directory the public can go ahead and click on the person's name and this is how they will be able to access the teachers teacher page area so whenever you see personal this is where oldies stop being displayed so please do not save personal items there because easily in one that goes to your profile will

Ellis Street yep we haven't those are options that you can consider as to how you can push out those videos or even photos as we described to your community the next topic that I'm going to bring to your attention will be actually Pages how to build pages and then how to connect that to the school site so some of the page may have already been constructed will show you how to locate that and how to update it example and go back to technology has a nice page created if there's a need to add to it or take out I'll show you how to do that how to add these documents images old that can be done very nicely so with that in mind let's jump and showcase how we can build pages so on the app looks like I'm going to click on the hamburger many so hamburger many come down to page management and click on pages know as soon as you come to Pages we see those two tabs again well one of them with personal Pages as we stated that is. Now let's talk about category cages not what are category cages now to help us to understand category pages I would like you visualize a filing cabinet. Most of us in our lifetime will we had to set up a filing cabinet I will put it put in at the documents set up nicely so that we can easily find it in a manner of speaking the site is set up as a filing cabinet to the top level of that filing cabinet is referred as category Pages as you take a look they're all four of them that are listed again this is filing cabinet we're restoring the pages once we have stole the page and created it guess what we have to do we will have to connect it to the site navigation so that is final step now I should take a look at your site navigation it does not look anything as to what we see with the filing cabinet again filing cabinet and psyche navigation are two different areas so let's go back to our filing cabinet we already identified that the top level is referred as category pages and you have four of them listed by default and I got by default you can have up to six category pages and kind of think of those category pages that top level of your filing cabinet as drawers So within those drawers you can have six of them now how do I have all of them on the right hand side just click on category options you know this right here that two of them are hated educational support and Athletics now if you would like to use them you can go ahead and click on show and all 6005 that you like to use will be accessible the only thing that you will be required to do just click on Save changes now those titles that you see that our position there that can be adjusted easily so if you don't like that label for example miscellaneous because I have no idea what's in miscellaneous and you may be scratching your head and wondering I don't know I have no idea and that's the case with myself so let's go ahead take a look at miscellaneous you see that little pencil on the top if you need to rename that click on it type your new title in here and that it will save automatically so those drawers top level category Pages can be relatable So within each of those category Pages or drawers it takes us to the second level and what we're looking at all sections opposition within category Pages within that one label miscellaneous to the amount of sections they are five of them listed by default online how to go to pages I can add as many sections so you don't have to worry about running out to too many you don't have to worry about that you can add as many as you would like within each of those sections that you create this is where you will go ahead and create your pages so that takes us to the final level in that filing cabinet not before we tackle on pages a look at this button oh this little icon that I'm hovering over as you hover over that little icon and I refer to it as an organization icon you'll see that label inside navigation that indicates to me that this item is already connected as a button for the public student of the month so if I were to locate student of the month it's somewhere over here on my navigation on the right you'll see the three. And he was telling me how do you inside navigation whatever you click on that just be aware it does not take you to the homepage of the school site he just leaves you inside the admin site so I clicked on site in view inside navigation and this is what will be seen it will take you directly where that section is connected so I guess the title students of the month it's connected to that section and it's under parents and student this is much easier for me to locate if I go back to the homepage on the parents my students is the student of the month so we can find it at two different places on the site navigation on the admin side and also on the public view this is where a student of the month is connected now let's go back to our filing cabinet let's talk a little bit further as to some of those details that we see when I click on the three dots we already highlighted view inside navigation you can take a look at the actual section itself what it's all about now you'll also notice you can move that section. Whenever you're moving something it has to do with the filing cabinet only and you can select as to which cabinet you can push that to you don't want that under miscellaneous maybe that pertains to school you can push their or boarding committees you have options click on it and then click move if something is not connected you will not see that little icon now that doesn't mean that it's not accessible to the public it's just that this whole section is not connected now example that click on parents and students you will notice that these two items are connected not the whole section so you have a lot of different ways of how you can showcase content on your site navigation now let's go and create a new section click on the new section here on the right hand side and I'm going to label this as a training section now this training section that I am creating will generate a link for me and this is not attached anywhere on the site navigation as I click on it it will just give me
