Making an eLearning webpage

You are going to want to have video on your page if you want to entice students to watch it, and ideally it'll be video of themselves or their friends. Lots of short (10 second) snippets of students teaching skills to the audience is ideal. Include the bloopers! - But below are a few of the skills you will need to pull it all together.

If you are logged into chrome with your elcho.org account, but cant see the 'edit' pencil in the bottom right hand side of the screen make sure that you are looking at sites.google.com not the user friendly URL of eschool.elcho.org. You need to be in google sites in order to edit your pages.

Just remember to test everything on your mobile phone, as that's how most students will be viewing it.

Learning to code.

This endeavour will take you longer than one day, but if we get locked down you may want some way to pass the time. Two fun ways to start are Scratch and Grasshopper.

Scratch is the best way for students to learn to code, it's provided by the Lifelong Kindergarten at MITs Media Lab.

It's designed for sharing and so that students can learn by playing. Now would be a good time to jump in and have a go too.
