Embedded Files
When you first open your course Google Site, it should look something like this:
You are on the Home Page. There are tabs across the top: Home, Week 1, Week 2, etc for all the different pages in the web site.
Below the tabs is the Course Title. Click in that box, backspace to erase Course Title, and type in the name of your Course. That was easy! This title is in the header, and you will change it for each page, or session in your course to whatever is appropriate for that session.
Above and to the left is another title (BOLLI Course Google Site Template) which stays the same on all your pages. You should change that as well to your course name.
Below the Course Title are some text boxes where you can type in things like:
SGL Name
Course Meeting Times/Dates
Contact Information of SGL
Course Description
Other general course information.
You can go ahead and edit those text boxes to put in your own information. Instead of re-typing the entire course description, you might want to Copy and Paste the Course Description from your Curriculum Committee course proposal. To do that, open the Word document that you previously filled out. Position you cursor in the Course Description box of the word document and highlight the text. Then while holding down the Ctrl or Cmd key, press the C key. That should copy the text to your clipboard. Then go back to your web site, put your cursor in the Course Description box and while holding down the Ctrl or Cmd key, press the V key. That should paste the text into the box on your web site. You can copy and paste lots of things like this, including pictures as well as text.
Notice that there's no SAVE button anywhere. Google automatically saves your work as you go. If you make a terrible mistake and delete something, you can always go back to a previous version of your site. Under the three vertical dots there's a Version History command which can roll you back to a previous version
