Mr.+Brian's+Workshop


 * What's here:**
 * **Embedding "External Images" -- Images that live in the "Cloud" or on the Web (Google Images)**
 * **Embedding Prezi presentations**
 * **Understanding "embedding"**
 * **Using Slideshare to upload Powerpoints and embed them into your Wiki**
 * **Embedding a Podcast. The podcast needs to be uploaded and hosted online first, like with SoundCloud or Broadcastr.**

**Uploading Pictures into your Wiki**: You have already done pictures, use the "File" menu button from the toolbar above and upload existing files from your computer, then select it from the list to insert into the Wiki page. Remember, it will insert the image where your cursor is located.



**Embedding an Image that "lives" online (it's stored in the "cloud")** __Step 1__: Search and select the desired image online (Google Images) __Step 2__: Drill all the way down on Goggle Images to Full-Size Image so the image is the only item on the screen. __Step 3__: Copy the URL (This is the image location) __Step 4__: In Wikispaces, go to File from toolbar

Then choose insert external image and paste the URL into the text box, select load. Now you can click the image to insert into your wiki page.

**Embedding a Prezi**

Step 1: Understand embedding. Embedding is integrating a "product" into your wiki, your blog post, a discussion post etc. this "product" can be a YouTube video, a Prezi, something lives somewhere else on the Internet/Web. You are merely borrowing it or linking directly to it but having it show up in your content that way you want it. Examples of finding the embed code (it's HTML code, but don't get freaked about it. It's not worth it).

**A: YouTube embed code** - We are all familiar with YouTube. Let's use YouTube as an example. Find the video follow this illustration to find the embed code (it's NOT the URL link or Web link). The embed code is the stuff that begins with //" select Edit > Select Widget button in toolbar > Select "OTHER HTML" at bottom of list (Left-side menu of dialogue box) > paste the embed code and Save.// What you will see is "Other Widget". Save the Wiki page and you will see the magic happen.
