Images and Files
Your site comes with a locker for files and links and an Image library for images. Files in your locker may be organized into folders and images into albums. These uploaded resources are availabe for use on any page of your site, including pages located in Mini-Sites or sub folders of your teacher site.
To access these resources, navigate to your personal site from your Portal Page, and then click the Resouce Files button located near the top right. To upload resources, use either the Add Albums or Add Resources buttons and follow the simple on screen directions.
Using Image Albums
You must select images from your Image Albums when using both the Rich Text Editor and Slideshow Elements. The Picture Element allows to you choose an image directly from your hard drive.
When working with the Slideshow Element, you may choose any number of images from as many different albums as you wish. For best results we recommend that all the images you upload for your slideshow have the same dimensions.
Using the Resource Locker
With the Rich Text Editor, you may create links to any single folder or file in your resource locker. To do so, first highlight the text you wish to use as your hyperlink, then click the Links button on the toolbar. When the popup window appears, click the Site Map tab to view a list of all your available resources.
To present a list of files for downloading, use the Locker Element. When you add a Locker Element to your teacher page, the locker and its title defaults to the current section. Click the pencil icon on the element to edit the title and select the locker or folder in the locker to be displayed on the page.
A Locker Example
To illustrate the flexibility of the Locker Element, let's assume that a teacher has created two folders in their locker - Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. Each folder is filled with the appropriate files for their respective chapters. When the Locker Element is selected, it defaults to display the full contents of the locker.
After clicking the pencil icon for the element, the teacher may select the Chapter 2 folder from the list of available lockers and folders as well as edit the name of the locker as it appears on the page.
