If you are using Moodle, Blackboard, or another school-based website, follow these instructions to embed You Tube videos, music, and iSprings into your school counseling website.
Embedding You Tube
**Before starting, you will need to download the Download Helper to your computer at http://www.downloadhelper.net/ **
- Go to You Tube, play the video and click on the Download Helper symbol (seen at right)
- Scroll to the name of the video you want and download it to your desktop
- Drag it from your desktop to your personal FTP site (if you do not have an FTP stie, talk to your IT Department. This is a web-based storage site that will convert your files into a web-based address, which is also called a URL)
- Highlight a word or picture in in your lesson. Click the Link icon. Put in the URL in the link space.
- After saving the lesson, scroll down and make sure you can see the movie box.
- Press play on screen to see if it works.
Embedding Sound and Music
- Have your music or voice recording available on your desktop to drag to your FTP site.
- In the editing mode of your lesson, click to toggle to HTML code
- At the very top of the lesson put in the HTML code:
- <embed height="60" width="144" hidden="TRUE" src="###Your URL from your FTP site"/>
- Click out of HTML editing back to the normal view
- When you save the lesson and open it to view it, the sound should automatically start playing
Embedding iSpring
- After publishing your iSpring, find the file on your desktop and drag it into your FTP site
- In your lesson where you want to add the iSpring put #### after the text prior to where you want to add the iSpring, so you can distinguish it when you are looking at the HTML view
- Click to toggle into HTML view
- Find the ####
- Add the code: <center><iframe src="FTP URL" width="728" height="584" frameborder="0"</iframe></center>
- Where is says FTP URL above, copy and paste the iSpring URL from your FTP
