Wednesday Agenda
8:00-9:00 Welcome back to Create a Classroom Website Workshop, Day 3. Today we are going to begin the "official" construction of our webpage using Yola. First, if you have not finished your classroom website layout form, please do so. This is a great time for questions.

9:00-11:00 Log onto [|Yola] with your account created in Day 2.

Using your outline, begin experimenting with the layouts offered and select one that may complement your agenda and style for your classroom website. 1. Begin with the Homepage, create a Title (keep it simple, this is the main page that will be viewed by students, parents, administrators,and individuals from the community). This title will be placed in the heading box, it will be seen on all pages. This main page, often called a homepage, will be called index in the Yola site navigation bar.



2. Create the supplemental pages that will link from your home page. These may include a page for students, parents, and maybe an activities or resources page. Press the Pages button, select new page. Then title your pages.

12:00-2:00 Lets add details to your pages. Now we will work with creating titles and the structure to each page.

1. Starting at your index (or homepage) page, click on the Layout button. A screen will appear with many choices. These are intended to add structural design to your page. They can be used to separate images, information, or add flow to the page. Select one.

2. Once you have selected the layout, you may add the contents to each page. Watch this screencast as I walk you through this process. media type="custom" key="20573924"
