I had to Google quite a bit until I found the link below:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.steegle.com/websites/google-sites-howtos" target="_blank">http://www.steegle.com/websites/google-sites-howtos</a><br />
<br />
From the site:<br />
<br />

Instructions</h2>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">
<ol>
<li>Find the PDF file in Google Drive<br /></li>
<li><b>Preview</b> the PDF file in Google Drive<br /></li>
<li><b>Pop-out</b> the Google Drive preview<br /></li>
<li>Use the <b>More actions</b> menu and choose <b>Embed item<br /></b></li>
<li><b>Copy</b> code provided<br /></li>
<li>Edit Google Sites page where you want to embed<br /></li>
<li>Open the HTML Editor<br /></li>
<li>Paste the HTML embed code provided by the Google Drive preview<br /></li>
<li>Use the <b>Update</b> button and <b>Save</b> the page</li>
</ol>

It features augmented reality and it has endless possibilities raging from simple videos of students saying something about their cereal boxes to full blown book reviews. Here's how to use it (courtesy of Sylvia Duckworth):<br />

Chrome is a Google product, Chrome is too -- so they play well together. Here is where you can get it: <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en-CA/chrome/browser/" target="_blank">download Chrome</a><br />
<br />
When you are done installing it, please proceed to the steps below.<br />
<br />
Here's how to start your own blogspot:<br />
<br />
1.) Sign up for Gmail or Google. If you have a Google/Gmail account, please proceed to step 2.<br />
<br />
If not, click here: <a href="https://accounts.google.com/signup?service=mail" target="_blank">Sign up for Gmail </a><br />
<br />
2.) After signing up, go to <a href="http://blogger.com/">blogger.com</a> to start your blog. You will be prompted to CONFIRM your Google+ Profile (you may edit your profile later on). You have the option to OPT OUT of email notifications from Blogger by removing the check mark from <span style="color: red;">Feature Announcements.</span> After this step, you may now click <span style="color: red;">CONTINUE TO BLOGGER. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpmKqjlyEf4xw4AHbJQrkIEhmj7xRDnCwJU6z2oCEl16smH5OU_8K9KUX3D7O08d5OOZdEP5HWr93x1-AdUe8yF4acu2pljotLeBLT3JjwkP5Gm-C9KqWzcjI50vv-igg8YpF722K4UkM/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-05-04+at+9.59.50+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpmKqjlyEf4xw4AHbJQrkIEhmj7xRDnCwJU6z2oCEl16smH5OU_8K9KUX3D7O08d5OOZdEP5HWr93x1-AdUe8yF4acu2pljotLeBLT3JjwkP5Gm-C9KqWzcjI50vv-igg8YpF722K4UkM/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-05-04+at+9.59.50+PM.png" height="400" width="338" /></a></div>
<br />
3.) When you get to the next window, click on New Blog.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFvhrByk24ulOFotYV9raW4CyMS5C3U7acpvd3twY_kKTCV95dyHlKGYPzkMh5KU4BpOr_tCfwq98W7QLVlQdMBq1RduuBydbjRlIaCUp77TSJtzCESZmDf5CDZSuqROToS8qLzzkKzw0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-05-04+at+10.19.39+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFvhrByk24ulOFotYV9raW4CyMS5C3U7acpvd3twY_kKTCV95dyHlKGYPzkMh5KU4BpOr_tCfwq98W7QLVlQdMBq1RduuBydbjRlIaCUp77TSJtzCESZmDf5CDZSuqROToS8qLzzkKzw0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-05-04+at+10.19.39+PM.png" height="175" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
4.) You will then be asked to create your TITLE and ADDRESS. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyYt5K2Cwb7zHU9fZenQaODS6wZY3NZbKlZo6nCcpty6g5pPv6AxF-zWC01o82e_DuEKx4WbgATH6kkYlkPBnhORPY229cxutZMOAi3tQ3XxUkDUwN0sxKxGLP6kOgC_NWUSddqTTFzKQ/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-05-04+at+10.27.42+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyYt5K2Cwb7zHU9fZenQaODS6wZY3NZbKlZo6nCcpty6g5pPv6AxF-zWC01o82e_DuEKx4WbgATH6kkYlkPBnhORPY229cxutZMOAi3tQ3XxUkDUwN0sxKxGLP6kOgC_NWUSddqTTFzKQ/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-05-04+at+10.27.42+PM.png" height="337" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
You can always go back to these and change them. However, you would want to make your address something easy to remember and something that connects to what your blog is about. <br />
<br />
You will also have the option to change your template or how your blog looks at this point. I recommend just leaving it as it is right now. You can change this later on. <br />
<br />
Click CREATE BLOG! when you have your Title and Address.<br />
<br />
Congratulations! You now have your own Blogspot with your own web address!<br />

You will then have to put a POST TITLE, write on the body, PUT A LABEL and then PUBLISH.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A label is important to organize your posts. These will prove useful when you make your tabs on your main page. You can change the labels later as well as have multiple labels. </div>

We are now finished with our fictional characters! You can scan the QR code below our characters to listen to what our characters feel and why they feel that way. You can use <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/qrafter-qr-code-barcode-reader/id416098700?mt=8" target="_blank">QRAFTER</a> OR <a href="http://www.i-nigma.com/downloadi-nigmareader.html" target="_blank">I-Nigma</a> (both free) or any other QR code reader from the App Store or Google Play Store (Android).<br />
<br />
After scanning, just go to the URL. Make sure you are connected to the internet / data. Here are some examples -- just scan the QR code below the drawing to hear the students' voices: <br />

<br />
Other than videos, you can also embed presentations, calendars and other useful things on Blogger. You just have to look for the EMBED code. Here is a screencast of the tutorial:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/44KYi6WIe74?rel=0" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here are the steps:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">(assuming you already know what you want to embed and you know how to create a new post)</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">1. Create a New Post</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">2. Copy Embed Code / Language</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> On Youtube, remove “ Show Suggested Videos When Video Finishes Playing”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">3. Switch from Compose to HTML</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">4. Paste Embed Code / Language</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">5. Check if you are successful by going to your new post on View Blog</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">**Watch out! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">When you go back to creating a new post, switch back to COMPOSE. Otherwise you might be confused of why nothing is showing on your post.</span><br />
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">PUTTING LINKS ON YOUR POST</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
1. On a post, click LINK on your toolbar.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Ke9IP5nXr5Pj1YPsoi58hZZp1Utw0uRLyL0D26pw8AYPM1k0ZC1qrq0uNXtmCWte46sJJGKbHnMhpPBzivBRkP-FatpSpxaHhlrdIVv0sK_iud0G0IznjDzmvcv0_t2AjQRZI9UdSCw/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-05-09+at+8.41.18+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Ke9IP5nXr5Pj1YPsoi58hZZp1Utw0uRLyL0D26pw8AYPM1k0ZC1qrq0uNXtmCWte46sJJGKbHnMhpPBzivBRkP-FatpSpxaHhlrdIVv0sK_iud0G0IznjDzmvcv0_t2AjQRZI9UdSCw/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-05-09+at+8.41.18+PM.png" height="307" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
2. On the window that pops out, you can put a WEB ADDRESS that you want to link to. You can also put what you want the clickable link to show (TEXT TO DISPLAY) instead of the website address. I also recommend clicking / checking OPEN THIS LINK ON A NEW WINDOW so that your main window with your blog will always be open. <span style="color: red;">Click OK. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The grade 3s have been busy exploring the NFB Stop Motion app! The videos they created are based on Shel Silverstein's peoms, thus having a black and white element. "The Bouncing Ball" video below was done by everybody while the second and third videos are poems chosen by their respective groups.<br />

To start, there are 4 audio / soundtracks that can be used. There is now no need to take pictures and then transfer them to computers to edit. Pictures can be shot and then edited directly on the iPad.<br />
<br />
Prior to creating their movies, the students explored the NFB app by making Lego figures move.<br />
<br />
As I only have classes for a short period (40 mins.) in a day, their Grade 3 teachers (Ms. Schock and Ms. Rusnov - without these two wonderful teachers it would take us ages!) did the heavy lifting of preparing the classes for the actual shoot. <br />
<br />
In their respective homeroom classes, they took up a poem (The Bouncing Ball), did storyboards and then proceed to shooting their stop motion vid in Media Literacy. Human figures and the bouncing ball were created with pipe cleaners, backgrounds and other structures with paper and markers. <br />
<br />
Here are pictures of the Grade 3s:<br />

The default setting for Blogger is that you will see all of your posts on your home / first page. <br />
<br />
Thanks to a teacher-friend, Laura (<a href="http://laurasuppa.blogspot.ca/p/welcome-page.html" target="_blank">http://laurasuppa.blogspot.ca</a>), who directed me to a tutorial a showed me the step by step, I now have a STATIC HOME PAGE!<br />
<br />
Here is my version of the tutorial (apologies -- what I meant at 1:52 and 2:30 of the video is "welcome page address link" not <strike>"welcome message".</strike> Please just copy the "/p/welcome..." part AND not the entire link.):<br />

(<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/blogger/id459407288?mt=8" target="_blank">click here for iPhone / iPad</a>, and click <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.blogger" target="_blank">here for Android devices</a>). I use it in my classroom to post photos and learning in REAL TIME. I make sure that students' faces are not shown to protect their identities. Here is a short tutorial from YouTube:<br />
