Week 6, Term 3: Getting started

How to include "digital learning" in your programme is big.

2. Click the 3 dots on top left hand corner and click settings. 

3. Scroll down to 

4.  Click Open a specific page or set of pages 

5. Click Add new page (addresses)

6. Add the pages (web addresses)  you want.
