You are going to continue creating your timeline of space exploration.
First, return to xtimeline and login using the email and password that you created last week. Once you are logged in, click on 'my timelines' in the top, right hand corner. Continue entering the events from the handout onto the timeline.
Once you have finished entering all of the events into the timeline, you can add pictures for each event. Go to 'common' on the server. Find the folder called '5SA' and open it. Inside are many photos. Each photo relates to one of the timeline events. Have a look at the photos
To insert the relevant pictures to the events in your timeline, open the timeline and click on 'event list'. Click 'edit' for the event that you will add a photo to. Work in an order so that you know which ones you have already uploaded photos for.
Select 'upload', then click on 'browse'. From here you need to navigate your way to the folder '5SA' under the common server, and open the individual file for the photo you want. Click 'ok' and it will be added to the event. Click 'save' and the photo should be uploaded.
