Creating an Interactive lesson in notebook: Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad

1. There are two main ways to grab an image from the internet: drag onto the desktop and then insert into notebook OR, using camera from Smart Tools, capture the image and it will automatically be saved into notebook 2. Once you have your image give your page a title using the text tool in notebook – size it, choose font, color – have fun. 3. To a link to a website you can simply find the website address, highlight it, click on copy and then when you are in notebook click on the **Insert** tab on the top tool bar, select **link**. A window will appear – copy link into the address bar. 4. You can choose to launch you link by either clicking on **corner object** or **icon** – for the first two links in the Underground Railroad lesson the corner icon was selected. When you select “insert link” the world icon and the website will appear. To access the link the student will click on the world. 5. To link it to an object you go to the shape tool, click on a shape, size it, fill with color by choosing the properties tab and then repeat the process for linking – find your website, highlight the address, copy and then back in notebook software you click on insert, choose link, copy address into the address bar, and this time you highlight object under “launch by clicking”. Now, when students click on the star, it will take them to that website. You can also bring in an image from the internet or from your own files – skies the limit! 6. Each image, each link, each headline is a separate image and can be moved and positioned anywhere on your page. Once you are happy with the layout you want to **lock** everything in place. 7. To add the **banner** at the top you go into **Lesson Activity Toolkit** click on tools and search for **scrolling text banner**. Insert the banner into your page. It can be places anywhere on the page. 8. To insert text double click the first letter of the instructions and you should type your message. The font, the color, the size can be changed just like any work document. Once you are satisfied, click out and your banner will begin! 9. Save your file by going into your content folder, find the subfolder you want your page to be saved in, click on the wrench and add page to content and it’s saved!
