You can find this in the video&#8217;s link: <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H17QPo0kS6I\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=<strong style=\"user-select: auto;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; user-select: auto;\">H17QPo0kS6I<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Adding Practice Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you add practice questions to your lesson, you will see a &#8220;Practice Questions&#8221; button appear on your lesson.  You can move this button by placing the practice button where you would like it to appear in the lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#091;practice\/]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3>Adding Images<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may add images to the lesson from the Help Teaching library or from your uploaded images by simply clicking or tapping on the image you would like to add. This will automatically insert the image in your lesson.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to move the image, you can copy and paste the code where you would like the image to appear.  Additionally, you can add float=left or float=right tags to your image to have it appear on the left or right hand side of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Example: &#091;img float=left]Baseball&#091;\/img]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3>Text Formatting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to change the font, you can wrap the text in font tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Example: &#091;font size=large]This is my text&#091;\/font]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Our site supports the following font sizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>medium =&gt; 16px <\/li><li>large =&gt; 20px<\/li><li>xlarge =&gt; 30px<\/li><li>xxlarge =&gt; 40px<\/li><li>xxxlarge =&gt; 50px<\/li><li>huge =&gt; 100px<\/li><li>xhuge =&gt; 120px<\/li><li>xxhuge =&gt; 140px<\/li><li>xxxhuge =&gt; 160px<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can bold or italicize the text by adding a special code to the font tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Example: &#091;font size=large bold=yes italic=yes]hello, world!&#091;\/font]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3>Adding Tables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our lessons also support the addition of tables. Be mindful of the lesson width when creating a table and limit the number of cells (columns) you add. If you add too many, your table will not show up properly on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a table, use the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Start with: &#091;table format=advanced] \n\nThen add a row tag: &#091;row]\n\nAdd cell tags within the rows for columns: &#091;cell]&#091;\/cell]\n\nFinish a row with an end tag: &#091;\/row]\n\nFinish the table with an end tag: &#091;\/table]\n\nYou can also align content in cells with tags, such as the following:\n\n &#091;cell header=yes align=center valign=center]&#091;font size=medium]Fossil&#091;\/font]&#091;\/cell]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need more help creating or assigning online lessons, please reach out to our help desk.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In addition to the online lessons already available on Help Teaching, Pro and Group Pro subscribers have the ability to create their own lessons and assign them to students using our online lesson creator.
