Embed content from other sites

Embed content from other sites

The Embed the Web™ feature is designed to allow teachers to use interactive content from other web services inside their classroom environment, which allows students to easily access information/resources in a contained and focused way.
 
Embeddable services available through PowerSchool Learning include Vimeo, Slideshare, Google Docs, Prezi, Voki and hundreds more!

Adding an Embed the Web Block

 

  1. Click on the Add Content Block button inside your class on the page in which you would like to embed something.
