My Digital Life

Today we were looking at all the digital tech we use. We made a GIF out of it in Canva.

View my GIF here. This link does not work very well as it is static and you have to push the buttons or click the touchpad to make it advance through the frames.

It was really tricky moving the head so it opened bit by bit and making it look like the top was connected to the bottom.

Copy and paste the code with instructions from the Speaker notes on the slide here

Here is how they will look…

So today we did some housework on our Chromebook.

We reset our Google Search page so it is the boring white page. We looked at our extensions to make sure we didn’t have any installed that gobble up memory. And we put our school photo in as our Google Profile photo.

                   

 

Embedding Google Docs in your blog

Google Docs do not look very nice when embedded but sometimes we need to do this.

Once the HTML code is in you need to change the WIDTH and HEIGHT so the doc fills the screen. Otherwise you get a tiny box with nothing in it.

To make it fit into the blog add this code…
height=700 width=860

it goes between the first iframe and src=
