Instructions for Students

Step 1: Developing Your WordPress Page

• Instructions for Creating A Static Web Site in WordPress

• If you do not have a WordPress account, start here.
• If you have a WordPress account or when you are done setting up your account, follow the instruction guide provide for creating a static website in WordPress.

• Tasks: Create a secondary page, post a photo, post a pdf and create a link to that document somewhere within the page, and post a link to a You Tube video.

I will be using a PC:

• MovieMaker

Step 3: Uploading Your Video

• Uploading a video to You Tube

Here are the steps you will need to follow:

1. Create a YouTube account

2. Click the drop arrow under your username on the top right corner

3. Click channel

4. Create channel

5. Upload video from your desktop, iMovie, or Movie Maker. Movie Maker will force you to fill out all of the fields (i.e title, description, and tags) before it will allow you to upload. The Broadcasting and Sharing Options is an important stept to talk about here. You will need to set this to the "Unlisted" setting so that you can share them on your WordPress site and have the connections to your video work correctly. See snipping of this section below.

Additional Information

If there are any questions on any other software the students will have to make 1:1 appointments with the DLC.
