mei.n is a simple and elegant tool for embedding documents or a URL into
a blog or website. There are 3 embedding options – linked items, embedded items or embedded thumbnails which open in a new window. Primary school teachers will embed a document to their class blog, in a joint construction session.
• Registration: E bdtn requires registration, using a gmail address. Students below 13 years of age require parental permission to sign up.

• Cybersafety: Remind students not to write any identifying details in their documents. They should not include images of themselves or other students. Find out from school records which students in your classes are under a media ban, generally due to a custody dispute. In addition, check parental blanket media permissions lodged with the school to see if any student is not covered or if any parent has refused permission. Provide alternative tasks for these students.
• Copyright: Remind students to generally use their own photos or Creative Commons images in any documents they embed. The source URL and creator’s name should always be supplied for any images, web links, sound or video files which have been included and for the source of any research information.
• Preparation: Teach students to convert W d documents with o r
complicated formatting into PDFs, so that the formatting remains constant. PDFs compress files, so that they are far smaller and can still retain their hyperlinks.
• Tools: Choose Select files or Embed a URL. Import the document you wish to embed. In Customise, choose the Embed, Thumb or Link option. Choose your Privacy settings, allowing viewers to print and save your document if you wish. Annotate the document with a red Markup pen, if you wish to make some special points.
• Embed your document: Copy your embed code, by clicking on Copy to clipboard, then hold down the CTRL key and press V on your keyboard to paste it into your blog, using its embedding tool.
