You do not need to do anything on the webpage for the timeline. Everything is run through a shared Googlesheet, hosted on my G-drive.
- Go to the spreadsheet (link posted on Canvas for safekeeping).
- Leave no empty rows: add your entry immediately after the previous one.
- Add the starting point, or time of event in column A (you can add the month, day and even exact time if you know them, check the headings of the columns).
- If you choose a timespan, you can add the end-date.
- Choose a brief, descriptive headline (not a Buzzfeed clickbait title!) in column J.
- Add a few lines of text explaining the event in column K.
- If you find a picture, video, or web link you want to use, you can add the URL to column L.
- Don’t forget to add the “Media Credit” (for copy-right reasons).
- Provide a brief caption for the picture, video or other media you inserted, in column N.
- When your additions on the sheet are saved on the G-drive, you can refresh the website page with the timeline, and it should update with the new material now added.
- If you have any problems, please check in with the Digital Learning Assistants in the Hive in the basement of Ettinger.
