my name is mr campbell from mr campbell rocks and this is the third video in a google site
tutorial series from the google framework this is 1.3 select a layout what you'll see over on the
right hand side of the page is you have a bunch of different pre-made layouts that you can use
for your google home page and other pages that you create on your google site now what you're looking
at here is a pre-defined template obviously the lines and maybe it's not obviously but if you see
this little thing with the mountains and a sun if we zoom in here that means that's where an
image is going to go when you see these lines here this is where text is going to go you can create a
layout for every page on your website or on your google site these are the six layouts here you
can also create your own layouts so if i scroll down and right over here in this little carrot
all of the layouts come up here so let's say this home page i want to change the layout
when i click on this layout what it's going to do is it's going to give me a blank
template so you'll see here's my home page here when i go to class overview
i can edit and change things as i want to move them so what i would do is i would go here and i
would upload a picture and i would add some text maybe this is a section for my seventh graders
maybe this is a section for my seventh graders you have a lot of different options here on how
to select a template for your google site again these are called layouts and you'll notice over
here on the left we can add different background we can upload images we can select images
when i grab an image it's describing straight from my drive
when i add that image here's my background and then you'll see as i have these little
boxes around my other sections that are going to jump in here so i can add an image here
let's switch it here i can change the colors i can change the font
i can duplicate this section if i want to add this section or i can delete this section so
i'm going to delete some of these sections that we've created so it doesn't get too out of hand
we'll get into sections a little bit later but you'll see as i'm deleting the sections the google
site is getting smaller and smaller so here is my home page and this is actually a section here
and i can add information here you have a lot of abilities here to make your google site custom by
moving around text moving around images moving around different pieces of information you'll
see as i start to grab the image and move i can create any kind of format i want by
grabbing some of these boxes and moving them and if you saw when i grabbed this box and my layout
i have sort of a grid that pops up and it shows where those images and pictures would be aligned
once i hover over that text it's right there i'm going to zoom in so you can see those 10 dots
you'll see that i get a compass in my mouse or my trackpad and i can move
this whichever way that i want you'll see here we also have this i can move this down
i can move this whole section up i have a lot of different options for my layout
this has been 1.3 selecting a layout again if you're here it's because you're an educator
i love you i appreciate you and i'm glad that you're here
