welcome back everybody my name is mr. Campbell from mr. Campbell rocks calm this is 2.8 and
the last tutorial in the unit 2 module for G suite Learning Center in Google Sites so
the great thing and this is beautiful those of you that have worked with website outside of
Google Sites whether you've used WordPress or Joomla or Squarespace or anything like that is
a lot of times the formatting and moving things around isn't quite what you think it's going to
be so the great thing about Google Sites is you can move and resize resize any piece of content
on your site and the way that you do that is you'll move content through what we call tiles
and so I'm going to show you a couple different things that you can do how you can anchor images
to text or unanchored images from text how you can drag-and-drop them vertically and connect
all of them so the first thing is let's look at the tile so when I have a box the blue is where
the edges are when we're moving a text box we're going to have a option to move it vertically and
it expands or horizontally excuse me it expands vertically as we type more text so what you'll
notice is as I dragged this text box from left to right is we have these gray lines behind those
are the tiles and so what happens with text boxes and image boxes is those tiles lock into place so
we have a structure for our site it's not just willy-nilly so again these two are anchored you
can see that blue line as we move this even if we went further you'll see that my image box gets a
little bit smaller but I move as I move it back the image is still floating out here so an image
box has the blue dots all the way around this is telling me that I can move it in multiple ways I
can move it diagonally which will keep our image ratio the same I can move a horizontally or I can
move it vertically however I want now the great thing about this option is that we can lock these
into place and so as we grab a new section and over here you'll see that these are locked into
place well we can do this on our own we don't necessarily have to pull these layouts over we
can make these on our own so what we'll do is we could just hover over our image and we'll drag
it over and you'll see that big thick blue line what that's telling me right is the creator of
the Google site is this text box and this image box will now be locked together so when I drop
it there you'll see this whole thing excuse me this whole thing moves now when I grab the image
because we've locked the text with the image now if I hit command Z or control Z it's gonna undo
a couple things it unlocks that option we can also click on the undo last action right here I
can also go the other way I can grab text again here's our ten little dots if i zoom in you can
see there's the ten little dots and I have my compass I can grab the text and I can link that
to an image so you'll see that those two are locked because now the blue box goes around the
whole thing so if I want to move it over here I can move it over here and you'll see this is set
up just like this so again I can click on undo or command or control Z on my computer which is to
undo so the great thing about this is you have so many options in Google Sites to create what this
looks like and that's why when you see multiple Google Sites right this will be this will put in
some Facebook pages as people are sharing all of their Google Sites there's hundreds of different
layouts and possibilities and what these can look like so that's why a lot of people love
the Google Sites is because they're super easy to navigate and use you don't have to know any
code or anything like that and I know Squarespace and some of those other builders are trying to do
that but as far as being a teacher you don't want to spend all of your time maybe you do right but
I mean for the most part if you're here learning how to do this is you want to be able to create
the site that functions the way you want that gets parents and students the information that
they need without having to learn all the code and all the organization all that stuff on the
back end most likely you'd rather spend your time building content for your classroom and
curriculum and you know assignments and quizzes and projects and activities and all those kinds
of things that's most likely why you're a teachers because you're good at those things and you could
be both right you could be somebody other notes code in HTML once you create your own site and
that's phenomenal but if you're here most likely it's because you want to get in build your site
and get the content there this is the again last tutorial in the module 2 which has been basically
editing and creating your site module 3 as we go on to the next module it'll be pretty fun we get
into more details and we share and collaborate on sites and and how we can add more people
including parents and students and other teachers to our Google Sites again if you're here it's most
likely because you're an educator I love you I appreciate you and I'm glad that you're here
