How to add internet activities to Edline

• 1. Decide on activities which you want students to do and write them up in Word. (You can use Excel, also.) (See “Using the Internet to Teach” for ideas. Copies are available at http://www.teacherweb.com/CT/stbernardschool/mrslo/photo6.stm )
• 2. Include internet addresses in your document. The best way to be sure you get the address right is to highlight the URL (the address shown at the top of the page when you are in the Internet), and copy it (CTRL + C, which means hold down the CTRL key while you press the C key). Then paste it into your document (one way is to click where you want the material added, then press CTRL + P ).

•3.       Save your document as a Word 97 to 2003 document.  If you forgot, just go back and do a  

Save As and be sure to select Word 97 to 2003 document (an option given either immediately or as part of the Save dialog    - if there click on the “Save as type” line at the bottom, and choose” Word 97-2003 document.”  

Remember that Edline doesn’t know how to handle Word 2007 documents yet.  Hint: When I know that I am going to upload a document, I save it to my desktop so that I don’t have to navigate down through folders to find it.

My apologies to Rich for invading his turf. 

• 4. Log into your Edline account, select the class you want to use, click on Assignments (or on Edit next to Contents if you haven’t added an Assignment yet). Click on “Add” to add a new Assignment.
• 5. Under Document Title type in what you want to call the assignment.
• 6. Under Add Content, click on “Import an existing file.” You will be given the choice to Import Existing File. Click on Browse to find your Word document, created earlier. Be sure to click on the one with the correct format – it has a .DOC extension, not a .DOCX extension at the end of the name. Click on Import.
• 7. Under Multiple Postings, add other classes you may want to have this same assignment.
• 8. Click on Save and Return. That’s it.
