Some more options for adding items to your website is under the section called Google embeds. And Google, since it's a Google product works well with other Google products, so you're allowed to be able to add things here without having to go out of the site. So for instance, if I click on YouTube, I can search right here for a YouTube video. Before that, you would have to open another tab, open up YouTube, search for a video, and then insert the video, find the URL, insert it, instead, I can just search here so I'm going to look for golden retriever videos. And if I find the one I want, I click on it. And I'm going to select it and it will insert it again with other items.

You have a couple of options. You can click on here and you can control the progress bar and if you want To be fullscreen, when people open it, I'm going to leave it for now. And I can center this if I'd like. And always add text next to it or put questions underneath. But here's my video. And again, what I'm clicking on it right now it's not doing anything.

So to make sure it plays, if I go to my preview mode and I go down to my video, it's fine. So now I'm going to get out of preview mode. Let's go back to my site and continue editing. So I'm going to go up to the next page and let's say I want something on my Labrador Retriever page. The next thing you can add is a calendar. So this works with Google calendars.

If you click on this, this is actually our my Google classrooms that have a calendar. That's why it pulls it up. So if you have a calendar, Google Calendar, all of your calendars will come or be listed here. And you can put the one you want. Let's click, I'm going to click this holidays United States. Double click it, it puts it in.

Okay, so now you can view a calendar. So this is great if you're a teacher or you have homework calendar, or making appointments, maybe for coaching, things like that, you can put this calendar and then people can see it and click on it and you'll know when you're available. Now it's a little small and you can't really see anything. So I'm going to click on it so that I get these editing buttons up and I'm going to stretch it out. Maybe I want to make it this way. Okay, and depending on the viewing like it's in the agenda mode, so we can click on month and change it here when you're viewing so that you can see others right now there's nothing in this calendar that is added.

So that's why you don't see anything, click out. And then you can see the calendar and make the changes that you need to And then we also have a map. So if I click map, you can enter any location that you want on a map. So it was around the United States, maybe you're going to zoom in on an area or a certain state that has a lot of Labrador Retrievers, or whatever you want. Now, the thing to know with adding a map is you have to find the spot on the map that you want those to view because if you're zooming in, it doesn't always translate. You may not see in my cutoff some certain areas, so you have to find the area you want.

So I want to say I'm just going to click on that, I'm going to select it. And again, like with the calendar, it's kind of small, so most of the time, you're going to have to make it larger to see all the area that you want to see. So you have to set the area you want to see first because you won't be able to do it after you insert it. So just find the area you want and then you can just cert a map there.
