This is that you know if you have just got your other site or if you've never even attempted to build out a teacher page before this is what's it look like we click on your name you never said your name and then depending on how your school has your email preference instead of in my size send email here it might actually have your email address listed might be nothing it's it's kind of why would I set up but what I want to draw our attention to a year is this subscribe button click that subscribe to your personal page here whatever you make an update to that they will get notified of that about right now and we'll see where these go and how they can later be out later on in our communication with our our our parents like that my info I thought it was optional ayesha's here as kids will say I'm the parents of let's say you know Benson Jr all right I'm going to subscribe all right I have subscribed you begin receiving emails about this user's homepage dates are very cool to say now again I'll show you where that information goes and how we can use that later on building out a teacher page for Marty your rights yet I want to make sure we have something when folks are clicking on Marty's name now we get to our Pages futuristic right here horses pages start building our page from the hammer to drop down menu on a page management Pages all right now if I click this public link up here is going to bring me right where we just click on my name in the staff directory we got nothing going on there they'll see her with a few different we can create a page we can link to an external page what's a Yardie have you know some sort of sites filled out and he'd rather just you know link people to go to that page and go ahead right there link to another page are we can use any of our feature Pages as well as when we start adding stuff to our account things like you know videos photos calendar items links even Google start to populate here as well we just want to start with a good old-fashioned blank page here I will kind of will go through build that out and then you lie somebody's other features towards the end of blank page I thought somebody was give our page a title mister and sings last night about the message to this layout button on that all right whatever your school has set up as the the layout of the default layout right in this case will see this little sliver on the left and it's kind of like a block your block on block your block on there right here the on the left that's a  menu and on the right that's me the main content for for your site you're right you play around with this right so we want the section menu on the right things like that with you that we'll keep it on the left but what I want to do is done here you'll see we have these options that have that horizontal block up top that's a great space to add that welcome Banner that we're looking at before you do other things like adding such many buttons links I want to show it looks like when we add a photo when I click this layout here with the locked up top and the  menu on the left side is up load that's a welcome Banner will just back on all right now the cool thing about this is you can make a welcome Banner like canva and you know we are you see all the different accepted file types are here jpg paying gift heic for those using an iPhone if you don't take a photo and upload it that way in this case we are adding a gift a gift which is really cool you know it's up to something we saw some clients doing out in the wild we saw them adding gifts to their Banner we thought it was very cool so then we started utilizing at 4 these purposes as well as we saw with that teacher paid previously I will give us a second when it's upload we'll come back to that person want to do is add alt text old tax is a screen reader either going to want that they have an idea of what does images for anybody who might be visually impaired and using a screen M description of the image C welcome Banner be good enough in this case all right I'm glad we'll save draft here you probably the same draft as we're going along you look at the actions in preview what are page looks like right now.
