Speaker: OTAN. Outreach and Technical Assistance Network.

Melinda Holt: We are going to do assignment starter. Wow, this just got added to the ebook that you all have the link to, maybe, that is here. So there is the link you want. If you've got two windows open, go to the browser window, and type in https://bit.ly/slides2v. I tried every combination I could. I couldn't get Slides to view, so slides2v was what it became.

So go ahead and open that handout. And we've done a lot. We've covered a lot. Just a quick recap. This is me, and this is how to use the deck.

So each line within the TOC, which is the Table Of Contents, goes directly to that area or that area of instruction or that page of instruction-- however you want to word it. So here's the TOC. So if I wanted to get some ideas for use, I could click on the link, Ideas For Use, and it will take me right to that page.

On each page, there is also a TOC button at the top right-hand corner. When you click on that, it will take you back to the TOC. So someone wants me to type the link, and somebody might have already put it in the chat. But I will put this--

Lisa: It's in the chat.

Melinda Holt: OK. There-- it's in the Q&A too, Fatima. So that's how you use this deck. You look at, oh, I don't know how to mask images. So you go to that page, and then you can come back using the TOC button.

Now, what we're going to be doing today-- because there was a lot of requests for this on the evaluation-- so we have what's called an assignment starter. So if you're on this handout, go to the table of contents, page 6. It's the second page of the table of contents. And then slide 64, you could actually go to slide 64 if you want, or you can select the assignment starter link in the TOC. Click it, and here we go.

So we have another handout for you. The assignment starter is what we're going to be working on today. And it's kind of-- Felice is going to laugh at me when she sees it. Here's the link right here, bit.ly/slidestarters. So there's only one "s", slide starters.

And if I can-- yeah, I'm going to copy that. And I will put that-- oh, I can't put in the Q&A because I want to ask a question. So question is on page 5 and 6, or, oh, question, TOC is on page 5 or 6. Read the word.

The TOC, here we go. So it's one, two, three, four, five, the fifth slide. So you might have to hit your arrow key five times, or you could also, on that first slide, when you open up the handout, there's a TOC button on it. Boom, takes you right to it. So you can skip all that other crap, [cough], stuff.

Again, I went to slide 6 of the TOC, and I hit assignment starter. This is basically what we're going to be doing today. So what I need you to do is actually make a copy of this. You're going to open up the link. It should open up for you.

I'm going to check to see. Yeah, we got a bunch of people in here. That's good. Now, when you're here, don't write on it. You can't, but don't even try.

So once you're on the assignment starters, you need to go to File, Make a Copy, Entire Presentation, File Make a Copy, Entire Presentation. When you hit Entire Presentation, you're going to get a little window that pops up that says copy of assignment starters. I want you to name this start kit or starter kit, hyphen, your last name, start kit or starter kit, whichever you prefer, a hyphen, and then your last name. And if you look at the Zoom window, I've done exactly that.

Don't worry about any of the checkboxes. There are no speaker notes, so don't worry about that. There are no comments, so don't worry about that.

And I don't want you to share it with the same people. I want this to be yours. You're not sharing it with anybody.

So starter kit with your last name, and then say OK. When you do that, it will open up in a new tab. You've got your own-- it's going to take a minute, so be patient. So we're going to wait just a little bit.

And then after you do that, go ahead and close the tab that has my title, assignment starters, on it. You can close it now because you have your own copy. You've got your own copy. You're ready to rock and roll.

I see a couple of people have closed this. Up at the top of my screen, I can see we've got anonymous buffalo. We've got anonymous armadillo, alligator, or ox.

Lisa: Melinda--

Melinda Holt: (INAUDIBLE)

Lisa: --can you over that one more time--

Melinda Holt: I will.

Lisa: --from the presentation.

Melinda Holt: Yes. So I can see as you're coming in and as you're going away. So here we go.

On the TOC, you're going to see a link. And you can actually click that link if you're on the ebook. You can click this link, right here, and it will open up for you, or you can use this little bulleted item over here. This is also a link. So you can use that instead of typing it.

Once the presentation opens, like this, you should open to the first page, and it'll have the bit.ly up at the top. And it says assignment starters for Slides. Once you get here, you're going to go to File. Go to the File menu. It's right underneath the title.

You're going to make a copy. You're not going to download. You're going to make a copy, and you're going to make a copy of the entire presentation. So you click that.

What will come up is New Title. It says copy of assignment starters. I want you to name this start kit or starter kit, hyphen, your last name. This will be saved into your drive, not my drive, your drive, not anybody else's drive. This is yours.

Don't worry about any of the check boxes below. They're not going to do anything for you. You can check them if you want. They're not going to do anything for you.

And then say, OK. When you say, OK, this presentation will be copied, and it will open up in a new tab. It will open up in a new tab for you. You have to [breathing] allow the magic to happen. Just breathe a little bit.

Don't start clicking on things. No, I want it. No, I want it now. No, don't do that. Just slow down.

Wait for the thing, the little wheels, to stop grinding. And, eventually, all of the images and everything will be populated. Boom, you'll have your own copy.

When that happens, you can close my presentation, assignment starters. Katherine, I'm not showing the TOC anymore. If you don't see it, it's because-- on the Zoom, if you don't see it, because I'm not showing it. But on your handout, it might be that you're not seeing it because you opened up a new presentation. You've got the assignment starters open, and there is no TOC on that yet.

So the TOC is on the ebook. The ebook is located at Slides to view with bit.ly in front of it. That's been posted in the chat, so bit.ly/slides2v. The TOC, we went to slide 6. We went to assignment starter.

When you get that slide open, you're going to click on the open link or the bit.ly/slidestarters in bullet A. It will open up for you. You're going to File, Make a Copy, Entire Presentation. You're going to name it start kit with your last name or starter kit with your last name. It will open up in a new tab.

Once it totally opens up in a new tab, you're going to close my presentation that's titled assignment starters. And you should still have open yours, which will be named starter kit, hyphen, your last name. So I see we've still got 21 people that have this open. Again, if you want to keep it open, that's fine. I don't care.

But just make sure when you start-- when we start doing things, you're not going to be able to do anything to this, to my presentation. I've shared it, but I'm not allowing you to edit this. You can view it, which means you can make a copy. But you can't type on it. You can only type on yours, so you have to make a copy if you want to follow along.

And if you just want to watch-- you just want to make a copy and then watch-- that's OK too. I'm good with that. We're cool. Lisa, do you think I can move on? Are we good?

Lisa: Yeah, looks good.

Melinda Holt: All right. The second slide on this starter kit-- you're going to see a table of contents. That is not linked. Well, what good is that? Well, it's because you're going to link your own. You're going to link your own.

Now, on yours, everyone, click where it says Video Formatting. Just click in that word, somewhere, or in those words. And I want you to hit your Enter key.

So you get another bulleted or another bullet. Another bulleted item? Yeah, another bullet.

And I want you to type the word Chart. That's it. We've just added something to the table of contents. We've added the word Chart.

So how did I do that? I went to the second slide. I went to the end of Video Formatting, the word Video Formatting, or the phrase, whatever you want. I hit the Enter key on my keyboard, and I typed the word Chart. So, now, we've added the word Chart.

When you're creating a table of contents, you need to make sure that all of the slides are represented on your table of contents. And I just added one called Chart this morning, so you've all now have the full table of contents. But, again, it's not linked. We're going to do that later.

The next thing we're going to do is actually create a book layout because just, for whatever reason, people went, oh, I love this book layout. So we're going to-- excuse me-- we're going to walk through exactly what to do so that you have a layout called Book. You're going to have a layout called Book.

This one, on slide 3, this is just a picture of the book that we're about to create. Everybody, ready? This is going to be so much fun.

Everyone with me? Here we go. Everyone, go to View. Go to the View menu. You've clicked on View, and you're going to go down to where it says Master View, Master. Click Master.

So far, so good, we're going to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Now, I already have it, ha, ha, ha. But all the way at the bottom of your page, you should see a blank. It's underneath the green percent layout. So I-- have to scroll down, but there's a blank page there.

Lisa: We have the book too.

Melinda Holt: Oh. That's right. I forgot to delete it. Damn it.

Lisa: Thank you, Melinda.

Melinda Holt: You're welcome. Darn it. But we're going to do this anyway. You need to know how to do this. You need to see the process.

Lisa: Can you get to Masters one more time, please?

Melinda Holt: Yes. So from my slides deck-- darn it. I knew there was something I forgot to do. So you've got your slide open, your starter kit. You're going to go to View, Master. That's all it is, View, Master.

Once you're at View Master, I want you to scroll all the way down. Just ignore that blue one down at the bottom. Just ignore it.

I know some of you are chuckling. I'm going to keep this one. Meh, meh, meh, you can't touch me. Yeah, you can keep it, but I want you to know how to do this. We'll do another color.

So click on the blank layout. So at the top, you should see streamline, editing streamline, hyphen, blank. The book layout has a line through it, and it's a vertical line. It's absolutely straight, vertical line.

So up at the top on your toolbar, you should be able to-- Olga, I don't know where you're at. So if you're not with us, you need to go to View, Master. Scroll all the way down, and hit that blank layout in the black bar on the left.

You're going to see all of your slides on the far left. Then you're going to see-- stop taking notes. The notes are there. Stop taking notes.

You're going to see your slides in the far left. You're going to see a black bar with all of the layouts. And in that black bar, you want to hit the-- it looks like a blank. And that's what is called. It's a blank.

Now, up at the top of that area, you're going to see a word like background. And then to the left of that, you're going to see a little comment button. To the left of that, there it is.

We want to select a line. You want the first one, just a line. So select Line. And then-- my line is not selecting. There we go.

When you get your mouse over to the blank area of the slide, you should see a T, a plus sign, crosshairs, whatever you want to call it. Everyone, hold down your Shift key, and then draw a line going straight down the page. And then let it go.

I'm going to do that one more time. I'm going to go up to the Line tool. I'm going to select Line. When I select the line, my mouse, my cursor turns into a plus sign. I'm going to hold down my shift key, then I'm going to click the left button on my mouse and draw a line all the way down.

Why am I holding down the Shift key? Because that makes it absolutely zero degrees, 90 degrees, whatever. It makes it exactly straight.

Otherwise, you could be drawing a line like that. We don't want that. We don't want it to be an angle.

So you've got a line drawn. Does it go the entire length of the page, up and down? Well, if you were really good with your mouse, yeah, it does.

If it doesn't, you can select the line. You'll see a little blue dot at the top and/or at the bottom, and then you can hold on your Shift key. And then make it the full length of the layout. So it's going all the way up and all the way down.

If the line disappears when you're releasing your Shift key, I have no idea what you're doing. I have never had that happen before.

Line, I'm holding down my Shift key. Let go of your mouse first, and then let go of the Shift key. How's that? Just trying to figure out how I do it.

I have a line drawn down the center. I'm going to keep it-- right now, it's at one point. So if you look at the pencil tool, that is your line color option.

So, everyone, make it-- this dark-- underneath the orange button, I want you to go all the way down to the bottom of the orange, what, the orange line, and do dark orange three. So we've got a dark orange button. So I clicked on the line. I went to the pencil tool and did dark orange three.

Now, I'm going to select that line again. And here's where it starts getting fun. You're going to select the Format Options button. Up at the top of your screen, you should see Format Options. It's between colors and comment, so click on Format Options.

A window is going to open up. A panel is going to open up on the right-hand side. So we've got size and rotation, position, drop shadow, and reflection.

Make sure your line is selected. You should see those two little blue dots up at the top and down at the bottom. Now, select the Drop Shadow checkbox. It's not going to look like it did anything, but we're going to make it look better.

Select the arrow next to drop shadow, the arrow next to the words drop shadow. So we've got the checkbox selected, and we've got the arrow, so that we can see all the settings for the drop shadow. Now, this is going to sound really weird, but the color, right now, is black. The color is black. I want you to make it pink.

And then, everybody, just wait because I'm going to revisit all of that, what I just did. So here we go. I've drawn a line. I drew a line down the middle of my layout. I made that line a color by using the pencil tool.

I used the pencil tool, then I went all the way down to the bottom of the orange. And I've got the dark orange three. There we go. So now my line has a color.

Next to the pencil-- I don't know if I covered this, so, everyone, look real quick. Next to the line color tool, there's a line weight tool. You want to make sure it's just one pixel, 1 px.

Now, with the line selected, remember, select the line, and then you will see format options. If the line is not selected, you don't see format options. You have to have something selected before you can format anything.

So select the line. Go to Format Options. The panel will open. Select the checkbox next to Drop Shadow, and then make the color pink. This will make sense in a minute.

We need to know-- we want the shadow to be to the exact right of the line. And, right now, I can't see where the shadow is because it's dark, and it's also a little transparent. So what I do is I make it pink because that sticks out like a sore thumb. Sore thumb?

Michelle, you need to look at the very top of your page. Format Options will be there if you've selected the line. There's no way it can't be. And look to the far right.

It also-- it might not be-- you might be right. It might not be there if you're using a tablet. I'm not sure where it appears when you're using a tablet.

So the pink-- everyone, look at-- we've got transparency. We've got angle. We've got distance. We've got blur radius. So on each of those settings, you're going to see just barely a little square on-- the distance is what we want right now.

These squares are really, really hard to see, but you know that you've got it when your cursor turns into the north, south, east, west. Michelle, I'm on a Mac too. I am. I'm using a Mac.

So when you select the line, Format Options appears at the top of my screen. Make sure that line is selected. That's all. I don't know. It should be there.

Now, on the distance of the pink line, or the shadow, we're going to drag the distance over a little bit, maybe to about 11, 12. And, still, we can barely see the line. I'm just starting to see it a little bit. What you need to do is take the transparency-- there we go. See? I got rid of the blur.

So the blur-- so after you get the distance away, like maybe a 12 or a 15, then you'll be able to see the line if the blur radius is zero. Go ahead and play with blur just to see what it does for a little bit. Play with that blur line.

I'm turning mine to zero, and then I see the line. I see a pink line because that's the shadow. And then as I drag it over to the right, it blurs more and more and more to where I don't even see it.

The color option for the drop shadow, if you have the checkbox selected for drop shadow, hit the arrow next to drop shadow so that it's a down arrow. And then you'll see the color. It looks like a little black dot when it starts out. But when you click on that black dot, you should see all the color options.

You don't have to make it pink, but it just makes it easier to see. Now, what I do from this point, usually, the angle is something like this. It said it-- like a 45-- I want it to be in line with the line. I want it to be in line with the line.

We're creating a shadow so that it looks like the book is open. We're making it look like it's open. So I'm going to maneuver my angle to where it's at about-- and I think I put the settings on the slide.

I've got my line selected. You can't select the shadow. You have to select the line. Go to Format Options. And we want the transparency of the shadow to be 50.

So we're going to drag the little square under transparency, and you're going to try and get it to 50. Now, this gets a little weird because you're going back and forth. There's 51. Oh, there's 48. Oh, there's, oh, I almost saw 50.

So when you get it on a number-- right now, I know I'm at 47. I know I'm at 47. I know that this little box is selected because I've got the little crosshairs on it.

I know I'm at 47. I'm going to hit my key, my right arrow key, on my keyboard, one, two, three. There, I'm at 50. That's one cool thing about the tools on the format options.

You can't really see, or you can't actually nudge, unless you use the arrow keys. So I'm going to show you that again. Transparency, I'm going to drag it as far as I can. I'm going to try and get 50. But, no, 50 is just not coming to me.

Right now, it looks like it's at 52. So I'm going to use my arrow keys to go nudge, 51, nudge, 50. I want the transparency to be 50.

The angle for this line is going to be 215. So we're going to drag our angle. Oh, there's 263, 251, 2, oh, 220. Oh, look at that. I got 215. If I didn't, if it was at 211, 211, 12, I hit my arrow key, 13, arrow key, 14, and 15.

You notice what happened to the shadow? It's now on the left-hand side of the line. Now we want our distance to be six, so I'm going to drag my little distance. It's on eight, seven, six. I use my arrow keys. And then we want the blur radius to be five, boom.

Now, I'm going to do something. I'd like everyone to put down your mouses and look really close. What I'm going to do now is I'm going to select the-- I zoomed in. I selected this line. The line is selected.

I'm going to change my drop shadow to orange. Wow, you can't really see it all that well. So we might have to change the distance a little bit, or the blur radius. Maybe, the blur is just a little-- there we go, now, starting to appear a little bit. So you're going to have to play with this a little bit.

The settings that are on the handout, on slide number three, are the settings that I used-- and it's probably a good thing I kept this here now, boom. These are the settings for this book. So go ahead and go to that blue.

I want you to see this, so you see how it works. Because do you notice? I have two shadows on either side of the blue line.

That way it looks kind of like a book because they're just shadows. When you open a book, we've got a shadow down the center. How did I get a shadow on both sides of that one line?

Well, the trick is there's two lines. There's two lines. So all that work you just did for that first line, I did it twice.

Now, if you're looking at the Zoom window, you'll see that I just nudged the left line over a little bit so that you could see that there are two lines. They're laying on top of one another. They're exactly aligned. But the shadows are in different positions. So there's line one, and there's line two.

Now, this is probably blowing some of you away, and I understand that. But, again, this was something that was requested on the evaluations. I want the ebook. I want the ebook.

Well, this is how the layout was created. Two lines, well, actually, one line was created. One line is created.

I'm going to go back to that blank slide that we were working on. So here's that first line. I've already done all the work. The only thing that needs to change is the angle. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to copy this line, Control-C, or you can select the line and go to Edit, Copy. And then I'm going to paste it.

Here's the second line. The only thing I have to change is the angle of the shadow. So whatever it's supposed to be-- I can't remember. It's on slide 3.

Now, these lines aren't showing up all that great. So, again, you're going to have to play with it. I might want to make them maybe a little darker yellow or orange so that they appear better. I might want to make the blur radius a little less. Maybe, the distance needs to come up.

But when I'm finished getting the shadowing exactly the way I want it, I'm going to put one line on top of the other. And then you get that line down the center of the page with shadows on either side. And I believe-- yeah, I just picked the wrong color. Dark orange is a bad color for shadowing lines.

Something else you could do, you could also make the line going down the center two points instead of one point. Now, I see the shadowing a little better. So I selected both lines, and then I went up to the line weight tool. I'll make it three.

And, now, you can see you got that dark line going down the center, which is actually two lines. There's just one on top of the other, and then you have the shadow on either side. So that is how the layout for the book was created.

And that last page there-- that last layout, I should say-- that last layout, with the blue, and the lines on it, that I'm showing right now, there you go. You got it. So all you have to do now is change the color of the shadows if you want your book to be green or yellow or maybe you want white pages with the dark line. So you would indeed use that black color for the shadow.

So, again, it's up to you. If you don't want the line to be so bright, you would go to the line color tool. Select the line. Go to the line color tool, and then choose a lighter shade. And then it's not that pin stripe that's going down the page.

This was very-- what? What's the word? It's a big deal, and I know it's hard. I know it's hard. But all of the instructions for how to do this are on that book layout slide that you have, slide number three.

And we actually did it. If you were following along, the transparency levels, everything is listed right there. We actually did it. And I know there's probably going to be questions, but I'm going to ask you not to ask them.

Come to office hours today at 4 o'clock or Thursday at 10:00, and then ask the questions about the book layout. Because this is just mindblowing. And it's really, really-- it's hard.

So come to one of the office hours. Ask questions, or send me an email. Send me an email, and I'll walk you through it. I'm even thinking about creating a video on just this to show you how to do it, to show everybody how to do it.

I'm going to go to the next slide. This, you're going to enjoy. Sandra, all you have to do is copy and paste. I'm going to go ahead and go back to that master.

The second line, what I did is I created one line. Got that all done, ready to rock and roll, and then I went Control-C. Let me delete. Control-C, and then Control-V, and then I got the second line.

Once I have the second line, I change the shadow angle. I change the angle of it. Everything else is exactly the same. It's the angle that's different, and then I place them exactly in the same spot. Use your Shift key.

Remember, use your Shift key to get everything just nudged right, and then you've got one line on top of the other with a shadow on either side. So that should have answered your question. Copy and paste, it's a beautiful thing. Don't create the same image twice. Just make it once, boom.

Now, image maps, image maps are links, but they're pictures. We all know what a link is. It's some words, that when you click on it, it takes you to a website or web page. An image map is an area of a picture, that when you click it, it opens the website or the web page.

Most of the time, you're going to see image maps as transparent. So you don't even really see them. You're directed to them. This is really helpful for our students.

Go to the orange area and click. We don't say the word "button." We don't say the words. We go to the orange area and click.

Now, if you're on this slide, if you're on slide 4 on your own handout, I want you to go to the exact center of the logo and click. Where does it go? That, right there, that little circle in the middle, I can click anywhere in this big circle. It's not going to take me anywhere.

I have to go to the exact center of the circle, as I was directed. And that little circle, there is a transparent circle there, that it was made a link. This little circle in the middle was made a link, and you don't see it. It has no line. It has no color. It's called an image map.

Image maps are really, really great for directing people to things. Maybe, you have one image, and you've got five things in that image, and you want people to go to five different areas. So you use an image map in order to do that.

So let's go to the next slide, number five. So you've got a big image. The first thing we're going to do is we're going to make this image, this entire image, a link.

We're just making it a link. We're not making it an image map. We're making the entire logo a link. So you click on the image. Then you're going to hit Control-K on your keyboard, or, if you want to do it another way, you select the image.

And then you go up to your menu bar, up at the top. You should see a little link tool, which is telling you insert link is Control or Command-K. You're going to get the same little window that happens underneath the logo. It's asking you for the link.

I want everyone to type for the link https://otan.us. And if you type something different, I won't know about it. It's OK. Go ahead.

So we've got a link there, and then we're going to hit the word "apply." If you do not hit the word "apply," it does not link. There we go. We hit apply.

Now, when you select that big logo, it will take you-- as the owner, you have to click twice. But if your students reviewing this, they could click on it, and it would take them to the website, just like that. So if you tell them, click the logo. There, it takes them to the OTAN website, or wherever you tell them to go to on the logo.

Now, on this image, there is already a transparent shape. Hint, hint, it's the orange-ish yellow area, hint, hint. Now, I want everyone to watch me first, please. Come on, put your mouses down. Look over here.

I got you. I'm clicking where that orange area is, and I'm dragging the shape off to the side. And then I'm going to put a line around it, so you see it.

This is the shape that was there in the yellow area. So if you click-- go ahead-- if you click in that yellow area on your own slide, you're going to see something has been selected. This something could be-- how do you get a logo onto my slide? You would copy and paste it, Francis.

So you can take any logo. If it's a ping or a JPEG or anything on your desktop, you just drag it onto your slide, or you go to a website, screenshot. Take a screenshot, and then paste it into your slide.

I think we went over that a couple, yeah, on the last webinar. Back to this image, this image I created by using a polyline tool, which we're going to practice here in just a little bit. So don't worry about it.

But I wanted you to see that this is a shape. Now, it's not square. It's not rectangular, which is what we're used to seeing, buttons in the shape of. But this is a button. This is a button.

So when you click on it, you're able to create a link for it. So I'm going to put this back where I found it, in my orange area. And, now, you can actually see it a little better because I have a line around it.

I'm going to take that line out by going to my pencil tool, the border color, and I'm going to make it transparent. You don't see it, but it's still there. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

So I'm going to click that area. I'm going to go up to my link tool. And according to the instructions, we're supposed to go to-- we're going to make this link go to www.otan.us/training.

Once you do that, you're going to hit Apply. Now, what we've done is we've created the logo as a link. Oh, I see a misspell. So everyone correct the word transparent on bullet number four when you're on slide number five. Yeah. Thank you, Marianne. Yes.

So right here is my transparent shape, and right here is my logo. This is a link. The entire logo is a link.

But if I wanted someone to go to a specific page on the OTAN site, and I wanted them to go to training, I could create an image map within that logo. Boom, it goes right there. How cool is that? That is an image map.

A little more practice, because, next, you're going to create an image map on slide 6. Everyone get to slide 6. Rule 1, rule 1, complete sentence must include a noun and a verb. The bird flew.

So for rule 1, I want to give my students a little more information. So I'm going to tell them to select rule 1 to see a video. Select rule 1 to see a video, and it will take them to the video that I tell them to go to.

So here we go. Everyone, follow along. We're all going to go to the shape tool.

We're going to click Shape, and then we're going go to the word "shapes." Redundant, isn't it? And we're going to select a rectangle.

So, everyone, go to your shape tool, looks like a circle square. And then you're going to go to the shapes tool, and you're going to select a rectangle. You should get a crosshair. Your cursor turns into a crosshair.

And I want you to kind of go down to where the image that says, grammar rules. And I want you to create a rectangle by clicking, holding, and dragging over the words "rule number one." And when you let go, you'll see that you've created a box over the words "rule 1."

In order for this to be a workable image map, we need to make it transparent, and we need to take the lines away. So we could make it a link right now, or we can do it after the fact, doesn't matter when you make it a link. Let's go ahead and make this transparent first.

So make sure your box is selected. We went to shapes. We got a rectangle. We drew a rectangle over the words "rule number one." Our shape is selected.

Now, we're going to go to the paint bucket where it says fill color and transparent. Select the word "transparent." Now, you can see the words "rule number one." Isn't that cool?

But if you click off of your box-- everyone, click off of your box. Just click off to the side somewhere. You should see it's selecting the entire box, not just rule number one. You need to-- I'm not sure what's going on, Sandra. So when you-- let me back up a little bit.

So here's my box. If the entire image is being selected, it means you've not selected your box. You need to click where you have created your box. So click that little box there that you created. If it looks like all the handles are going around, where it says, grammar rules, then you need to move your mouse down and click the box that you created, not the image.

So we've got the box selected. We're going to go up to the paint bucket. We're going to click transparent, and we want to get rid of the line as well.

So you're going to go next to the paint bucket. With the box still selected, you're going to go next to the paint bucket and click Border Color and then Transparent. Now, we can't tell that it's there. Can we?

But we know it's there because we put it there. We just made it transparent. It's still there.

Click where it says, rule 1. And you will see the little box represented by all those little squares going around it. That means the box is there. Now, we can make it a link.

Now, I went ahead and put a link in here for you. You can copy-- it's where it says, https, w, w, w, YouTube. You can copy that link, or you can create your own link if you want, doesn't matter.

I've copied the link with instruction number three. I'm going to go back to that little box. I click on where it says, rule number one.

The box is on top. So I click where it says, rule number one. I'm going to go to my link tool, and I'm going to paste the URL for YouTube and hit Apply.

Now, when I select that image map, I should see the link appear. And I could even test it out, making sure that it works. And there it is.

- Education has changed. And, now, the classroom experience--

[end playback]

OK. Enough test-- makes sense? So we created a box around a specific area on an image.

We selected that box. We made sure that it was transparent. We made sure that the border color was transparent. We created, or we inserted, a link for it.

Now, I want everyone to make your own link for rule number two. If you don't have a website in mind that it could go to, use OTAN. So I'm going to do this. You can follow along if you wish.

I'm going to go up to the shape tool. I'm going to select a rectangle. I am going to draw a box around rule number two and let go. There's the box.

It doesn't have to be the exact size. You just want to get the most of the area where you think your students are going to be clicking. With the box selected, I'm going to go up to transparent, or the paint bucket, rather, and select transparent. And then I'm going to go to border color. Make it transparent.

With the box selected, I can see the handles all the way around just the box. I'm going to go to my link tool. And I'm going to type a web address that I want people to go to for rule number two.

Now, when my students go to rule 1, they'll be going to a video. When they go to rule tool-- OK, sorry, mouth not working-- when they go to rule 2, they will go to wherever I send them. Rule 3, same thing, it could be a handout. It could be handout.

It could be a video. It could be a form. It could be a test. I could send them anywhere. I just tell them, click on rule 2. Boom, and then it goes there.

So you can create shapes, or you can make shapes, and image map. Remember, an image map is a shape on top of an image that is mapped to something else. An image map is a shape put on top of an image that is mapped to something else. And when I say mapped, I mean, it goes to another website.

Kim, I don't know why. Delete that. Delete the visible copied link over rule one. Just delete it.

It sounds like you created a text box or-- I know what happened. I know it happened, a text box. All of your shapes, you can type in them.

So I'm going to take this invisible shape, and I'm going to drag it over here into a blank area. I'm a drag that. Here we go.

So here is my invisible shape, and it's linked. It's linked to this video, but I can type here. I can make it rule five. But when I do that-- or I could paste the entire link. So I think what happened is you selected the shape, and you hit paste, instead of selecting the shape, going to the link tool, and then hit paste.

So delete all of the text out of your box. Just select that URL that you had there. Select it all, and hit Delete. Then select the shape. Go to your link tool, and then paste into the link.

So, yeah, that's a really good teaching moment, Ashley. Every shape that you create, it's clickable. So this one, right here, I could type anything. I mean, I could type word "CNN."

Now, I know it's going to go to OTAN. But you can type anything into a shape, whether it's transparent or not. So that's something to remember. So if that happens again, you know what to do. Just delete it. Make sure that you have the link tool selected, and then paste the link in, or type it in.

Slide 7, we're going to use the polyline. We're going to use the polyline tool. Now, this gets a little wonky. Image maps can be really close to one another, but you don't want them to overlap so much.

So in order to look closely at something, you need to watch me first. We have, at our disposal, two tools that we can use to go back and forth between zooming in and doing something. Those two tools are called the Zoom tool and your Select tool. You have to go back and forth between the two. You can't zoom in and then automatically start, or try, and start typing something because you're still zooming.

See how my cursor-- everyone, look at my Zoom window. My cursor is kind of yellow-ish. And you can look at yours now. When you go to a slide, your cursor, your select tool should be highlighted yellow. So that that's how we know what tool we're using.

Now, if I want to zoom in, which I'm going to want to do when I am making an image map, I hit the zoom tool. And, now, I see that it is highlighted, and I am going to zoom into the word "diet," something I should be doing. After I zoom in to what is comfortable for me-- I see that I still have that magnifying glass with a plus sign-- well, I want to do something else now.

So I have to go back up to my screen and select the Select tool. So I'm going to do that again. I'm going to go up to the top of my screen. I'm going to hit the Zoom tool.

I notice that it turns into a magnifying glass with a plus. I'm going to go hover over the word "diet" and zoom in two clicks. I'm going to go back up to my Select tool, which is to the right of the Zoom tool. And, now, I can do things.

And what I want to do is I want to draw a shape around the word "diet." Now, I could probably use a rectangle that was tilted. I could just kind of-- I don't know-- angle it a little bit. But I want to use the polyline tool. I want everyone to use the polyline tool. Polyline, always, remember this, wherever you start, you must end.
