Happy almost break!
Just a few fun things:
Embedding Google Slides into Dashboard: Embed a Google Slide presentation into a dashboard. This could include choice boards, instructional presentations/lessons, and links to resources - all made in Google Slides. Click here for directions.
*Amanda Schwabauer at CHE embeds Google Slides into her dashboards. Click here to view her Web App for more examples.
Theme Dashboards: In Alec, a learning tool for Accessit, you can access themed dashboards. These dashboards are created with fun fonts, colors, and information. You can import the dashboards and edit them to fit what you need. This link also has information for updating your Web App, including adding a video to a new item and setting up carousels. We set up access to Alec in May - use the forgot password to reset your password. If you are new and need access, let me know (via a ticket).
Dashboard Editing: Click here to view how to update your Web App from Accessit. This document includes how to create/edit a carousel, embed a YouTube video, and more. Even if you feel comfortable editing dashboards, take a quick look to see if there are any nuggets of information. I learned more about the spacing and sizing of the news items.
Coming soon!
When you mark a book lost or damaged, you may have noticed that the Web App continues to display the copy. We are working on a way to ensure this does not continue. It will involve adjusting a couple of steps in marking books damaged or lost. We are testing the process and hope to have an update soon.
