 * Graphics, Objects, Backgrounds**


 * || **Preparation:** ||
 * || If the content gallery is not already loaded on your computer, you will need to download it from the eInstruction website and install it. Pay attention to where it is installing. (It should be the C drive in the program files/einstruction/workspacecontent.) The first time you use the gallery, it will ask you if you want to "build" your gallery and you will point to the place it is installed. ||



|| **Task:** || In addition, it is important for you to know how the properties of objects can be manipulated to create interactive pages and how to add your own images and flash files. Watch these short demonstrations.
 * ^  || Click on the image to the left. Watch Video in Module 2 "//Create and Modify Pages//" which will demonstrate how to add backgrounds to your workspace page and "Adding Gallery Content" which will show you how to add pages, graphics and flash files to your page.

=Ideas for using the graphics, objects and simulations in your classroom:=


 * Teacher Use:**

1. Create interactive files using a combination of words and images having students sort and select examples and non-examples of a concept. 2. Cover answers with boxes to reveal them after students have time to generate their own answers. 3. Create files to have students categorize words or graphics in related concepts.


 * Student Use:**

1. Students can create interactive files to demonstrate their understanding of a concept.
