In this lesson you will be using Google Sheets to create a Digital Activity guide (Think tourist guide) to a real place.

You will need to pick a real place, and do some research to come up with 10 locations or attractions that someone would want to see if visiting that place, they could then use your Digital Guide to decide how to spend their time.

You need to pick a REAL place, ideally someplace you may have already visited, or have always wanted to visit.

You will need to do some online research and use REAL ADDRESSES for the location, since later will be creating a map.

You will login into our Google Digital Skills Class and and look for: "Create A Guide To An Area"

We will start with Lesson 1.

Be sure to complete all the steps - you can skip the "Reflection" Step 8

Requirements

Your spreadsheet must include

1. At least 10 locations or places to see. (rows in the spread sheet)

2. Use the same column headings shown to you in the videos. (columns in the spreadsheet)

Turning Your Work Into Google Classroom

To turn in part one you can just "ADD" your spreadsheet from your Google Drive in Google Classroom. Be sure to hit the "Turn it In Button"

Be sure to keep you SpreadSheet in a folder in your drive so you can easily find it.

Most likely I will have you "Make A Copy" for each Lesson to continue adding features to your Digital Activity Guide

Lesson/Part 2

You can skip the reflection #6

If your SpreadSheet is not "Read Only" since you turned it in to Google Classroom for Part 1 -

just MAKE A COPY. Name this one Part 2 so you can keep track

Lesson/Part 3

Creating A SideBar and Embedding Interactive Images

This one is going to require that you closely follow the directions in the video and do what they are showing. They will have you:

1. Researching for a code "snippet"

2. Copy and Pasting the Code into your project

3. Modifying the code

4. Testing your program

Don't get discouraged and give up if it does not work the very first time - just retrace your steps and try again.

Some Tips When Embedding Links/Images

Be sure that you are in the "Street View" mode when you are getting images so that you get the "Embed" option - or else you will just get "share".

Watch video again for this part in case you missed it.
