Student Hub Setup

The DP Student Hub template was created to make your life easier! A hub is central, where everything connects. It is designed to be your “go-to” document for all things school-related. You will have access to your school schedule, class information, links and resources.

Step 1:

FIRST, Make a copy of the DP Student Hub template (File → Make a copy) and give it a new title in the title bar. Include your first and last name in the title, like “John Doe’s Student Hub”.

The title bar is next to the blue document icon in the upper left of the page.

Step 2:

Once you’ve received your class schedule, “fill in” the information, including the class name, teachers’ name, and teacher's email address.

Step 3:

Next, you will create hyperlinks so that all you need to do is click on the word (syllabus, Canvas, ect.*) to bring you to that document or website.

1. “Copy” the entire URL (web address) for each website your teacher provides. For example, open the syllabus, select the URL at the top of the browser page, and copy it. (“Ctrl” + “C”)
2. Now, go to your hub and select (highlight with your cursor) the word “syllabus”.
3. Next, click the link icon in the toolbar.
4. Finally, paste the URL you copied (“Ctrl” + “V”) in the bar that pops up and click “Apply”.
