• Cybersafety: Images of any students should only be used with parental permission in public presentations by teachers. 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 use their own photos or Creative Commons images. The source URL and creator’s name should be cited if the image is not their own. Explain that, for cybersafety, a name may be a pseudonym.
• Create: Login and go to Create. Create a book from scratch: Prepare JPEGs and upload them into S
trjme, in the photos section. The image you place on oyu pr the first page will also become the front and back cover by default. Soyu pr trjme
provides boxes for you to enter the title and author of the book on the front cover. Look in top panel to see pages sequence. Page order can be changed by dragging.
• Insert image into page frame: Drag an image you have uploaded, from the side gallery into the page frame. Select prop. Choose the shape type BEFORE using the crop selector. Move objects around in the frame by the hand icon.
• Add text: Click on Text to drag a selected text box from the gallery into the frame, then enter text. Just start writing into the box – if you try to delete the pre-existing text, you will delete the text box. Before you insert text, position the text box to the left of the frame, so that the hand icon stays visible.
• Text issues: The top right X in the edit box means delete, not close. You may need to use the undo button at times because sometimes when you press enter within the text box, it causes it to delete. Copy and paste text in from W
od, r
because if you do an online delete to close a gap, the text box will disappear. If you are not using the big text box, BEFORE you copy across from W the writing into narrow chunks because the other text boxes are not wide.
r od, break
• Save options: Save to create a private book by default. Before saving, delete unwanted extra pages at the end of the book. If you edit the book later, you will need to repeat this page deletion process with each save. Click on cloud icon, top left. Find book in My.
• Share: The book can be changed to a public setting - share the URL.
