- 16. Note: • On my Moodle page, the Flipgrid video question is already there, but yours won’t have anything yet. • This < > button is the ‘html code’ button. • Click on it. There’s a picture of part of mine, opened in next slide.
- 18. I can’t show you the full frame or save it as a picture because it’s got ‘live’ code in it which does weird things when you take a screenshot and try to paste it into a PPT! • Just paste the code you have already copied in the Flipgrid ‘share’ page before. • After you’ve done that, you’ll see 2 buttons at the bottom of the window: Update and Cancel. Click
- 19. You’ve done it! • Now your Moodle label will show the actual embedded Flipgrid. Useful tip: Change the size of the embedded Flipgrid window easily. Look for “width” and “height” in the html code you just saved. Ignore everything else.
- 20. • To get the code back, click on the < > button again. • Change the “width” and “height” numbers. • The default is “width”=350 “height”=500 • You could try taking 100 off each one, so it would be “width”=250 “height”=400 • Click to see the result.
- 21. • Before you know it, you’ll get a good idea of what the numbers mean in terms of actual size on the page. It’s quite fun adjusting the numbers, till it looks just right. • Click each time to see the result. • When you’re happy with how it looks, go back to the very top of your Moodle course page. • Look for the button on the right. Click it.
