Hello.

My name is Mr. Little.

Welcome to today's computing lesson from the unit Desktop Publishing.

We are gonna be learning today about adding content.

I hope you are ready to work hard and try your best, because that'll make today's lesson a success.

Let's get started.

By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to copy content into a template.

Here are the keywords for today's lesson, I want you to look and listen out for them.

The first word is content, my turn, content, your turn.

That's when you use text and images in a document, and you'll be doing that today.

The second word or words are copy and paste, my turn, copy and paste, your turn.

And that's the way to make a copy of something and put it somewhere else.

So when you copy something, it means you take an object, such as a piece of text or a picture, and save a copy of it into the computer's memory, so you can use it again.

And when you paste, it means you put the thing you copied into a new place, such as into a document or into a message.

And you'll be doing some copying and pasting today.

I've split today's lesson into two parts.

First, we're gonna learn how to copy text content.

Here's Jacob and Sofia.

We are gonna be speaking to them a lot in today's lesson, and they're talking about templates in desktop publishing software.

Jacob says, "A template is a pre-made layout that can be used as a starting point when creating a document.

" And Sofia applies with, "Templates usually have placeholders for text or images.

" So you might have learned about that before, about using templates, which is a pre-made layout, and using placeholders, that are places on a document for text and images.

So one of the reasons you might use a template with placeholders is so that you can copy content into the template.

Content, remember, is one of our keywords, and it means when text and images are used in a document.

So let's have a look at an example.

Here is a newsletter template with some placeholders, And here is a finished newsletter with content in.

What do you notice?

Let's take a closer look.

Here's that finished newsletter, and it is been created using the template we showed before.

And the content includes text and images.

Do you notice the two images and the text content?

So, here, we have some text content.

Oak Newsletter is the title.

The headline is Year 3 Win Award.

There is more text content there, where it says, "The award for the cleanest classroom has gone to class 3L," or, "Well done class 3L.

" We have image content, we've got a broomstick, so that signifies the class being clean perhaps, and a trophy to represent that the year-three class has won the award.

And we have some more text content there at the bottom, which says, "Previous winners include classes 4P, 6S, and 1M.

" So notice there that newsletter now has text and image content.

Let's check your understanding now.

What type of content is shown here?

Have a look at that purple arrow and where it's pointing to.

Is it A, an image, is it B, text, or is it C, template?

It's B.

That's text content, isn't it?

Well done if you selected B.

Same question, but the arrow's pointing somewhere different now.

What type of content is this?

Is it A, an image, is it B, text, or is it C, a template?

It's A, it's an image.

Well done if you selected that.

So, now, we know what text and image content might be.

When you use copy and paste, that's our other keywords, that helps you work faster and avoid typing the same thing again and again.

So if you've used copy and paste before, you'll know that it might be a quicker way than doing the same thing again.

Let's see what Jacob has to say.

Jacob says, "I use my mouse to right-click and select Copy.

Then I use right-click again to paste.

" Sofia says, "I use the keyboard shortcuts of Control + C to copy and then Control + V to paste.

" So it looks like here Jacob and Sofia have explained two different ways of how to copy and paste.

So, now, we know how to copy and paste and what content is.

You can add text to a template by copying the content from one document and pasting it in to the template you might be using.

And to do that, you might use copy and paste.

So there is a table here with some text to copy and the newsletter template.

And let's watch this clip to see how it's been done.

In this clip, I'm using Canva, but you use any software that allows you to edit and copy in text or images.

So, here, I've got a newsletter template I'm going to use and some text and images I'm gonna copy and paste into that newsletter template.

So let's start with a text.

You can see here, I've got placeholders for headings, subheadings, and two placeholders for text in the newsletter.

So let's select the text I want to input into my heading.

So I'm gonna use this table here.

I'm gonna click exactly what I want, and I'm gonna highlight what I need by clicking and dragging.

I'm gonna right-click on my mouse and copy.

And then in this placeholder, I'm gonna double click to highlight everything I need, right-click, and it's gonna replace it with my pasted content, which is insert school newsletter.

And where it says "Insert school," I need to change it to my school name, which is Oak.

There we go.

You can see, I've added a title for my newsletter, the Oak Newsletter.

Let's do the same for the subheading.

Let's scroll down to the text I need.

Let's click and drag everything I need, right-click, and copy.

Same again for this placeholder.

Gonna double click everything I need, right-click, and paste, and that will replace the add a subheading placeholder.

And it is 3L who have won the award today.

Let's do the same for these two text placeholders.

Let's go down to the table I need.

Let's click and drag everything I need.

I'm gonna use my keyboard shortcut this time, which is Control + C, into this placeholder, double click, and Control + V, paste everything I need.

And remember, it is class 3L.

I'm just gonna resize that placeholder, so it fits neatly into my newsletter template.

There we go.

Let's do this placeholder now.

So let's click and highlight, Control + C, double click, Control + V.

And I need to add in my previous winners, that would be class 2S, 4R, and 5M, and a full stop at the end.

There we go.

You can see I've copied in my text content there.

So let's copy in my image content now.

I'm gonna replace two placeholders with images.

So let's click on this image.

Let's right-click to copy.

And I'm gonna right-click and paste over the top of this image placeholder.

Now, you can see it's not quite the right size.

Let's resize this image and use the placeholder as a guide.

So I'm gonna click and drag to make my trophy image larger.

I'm gonna move it in line with that text.

I'm gonna make it a tiny bit bigger.

There we go.

Now, you can see behind, I've got that image placeholder, so I'm gonna click on it, and I'm going to delete that placeholder.

Then I've got my trophy image in where I want it to go, and same for that last image placeholder.

I'm gonna click on the image of the broomstick.

I'm gonna use my keyboard shortcut this time, Control + C, click on the placeholder I want to replace, Control + V.

A little bit of resizing is needed.

I'm gonna use the placeholder as a guide.

Gonna make it a tiny bit bigger again.

There we go.

And let's click on that image placeholder of the clouds behind and click Delete on my keyboard.

There we go.

I've copied an text and image content.

Time for a task now to put all that knowledge into practise.

Using the template provided as a downloadable file, or your own template, I want you to copy and paste the following text and images into the template.

You can add in your own details where there is an underscore.

So let's have a look at what you are going to copy and paste.

I've put it as a table.

And the template sections for heading, subheading, text box one, and text box two, I want you to copy and paste the text in the middle column into the correct place on your template.

Now, where there is an underscore or a blank, you can add in your own details.

So you might choose a name for your newsletter, I use Oak Newsletter, but might want to use your own school, or call it something else.

And you also have to choose the class that it's gone to and the previous classes it's gone to.

So where there is a blank, I want you to fill in that detail.

And there are also two images to copy, the trophy and the broomstick.

So I want you to copy and paste that image and text content into your template.

Let's see how Jacob has done.

So it looks like he has copied and pasted the information from the table into his newsletter template.

It looks like he's added in his own details, that he has said year three won the award, and it's class 3L.

And the previous winners were class 4S, 5G, and 6N.

He's also changed the font and resized the images.

Sometimes when you copy and paste images, you might have to resize them to make them fit.

And he is also changed the font colour of the heading.

So, here, Jacob has copied and pasted text and image content.

Great stuff.

For the second part of today's lesson, we are gonna learn how to use images.

So, here, Jacob and Sofia are talking about using images in templates.

Jacob says, "I know how to copy text content into a template now.

How do I choose an image to use?

" Sofia says, "Adding images is similar to adding text, but there are some important differences.

" Let's learn about what they are.

When you are choosing images to add in as content into a template, you need to choose an image that fits the purpose and message of the document.

Let's think back to that newsletter example.

And we chose a trophy and a broomstick, 'cause the trophy is an award, and the broomstick was signifying that the classroom was clean perhaps, 'cause that was what the award was for.

So when you choose an image or images for a template to add in, you need to make sure that image is appropriate for what you are creating.

It's not something random or something different, that people who are looking at what you are creating is gonna go, "Hmm, I dunno what that means," or, "That image is.

" It also needs to clearly show what you want it to.

So you might have to resize or change the appearance of the image to make it clear what it is.

And it might not always be your favourite image.

So you can't always select the one that's your favourite.

Sometimes you have to think what's gonna be the clearest and most appropriate for whatever you are creating.

So let's check your understanding now.

When you are choosing an image for content, what should the image do?

Should it A, be an image that is appropriate for what you are creating, is it B, clearly show what you want it to, or C, be your favourite image or most liked image?

It's A and B.

Remember, when you're choosing an image, it should be appropriate for what you are creating, and it should clearly show what you want it to.

Sofia's been asked to add content into a newsletter about Sports Day, and she needs to choose the most appropriate images.

Let's have a look at some examples of images she could use.

Here is someone playing wheelchair badminton.

And here is someone playing American football.

Now, these are not good examples of images Sofia could use.

Let me explain why.

First of all, they don't show children taking part in sports at Sofia's Sports Day.

Second, they show different activities.

Unfortunately, at Sofia's school, she didn't play badminton or wheelchair badminton at her Sports Day, nor did she play American football.

These are actually some of Sofia's favourite athletes.

So it looks like, here, she's chosen her favourite images rather than images that are appropriate for her Sports Day newsletter.

So we just looked at some examples of Sofia choosing images that weren't appropriate for her newsletter.

Let's look at some better examples she could use.

I think these are more appropriate for Sofia's newsletter.

Let's look at why.

I think they're good examples because they showed children taking part in a variety of sports.

It's not just one sport or Sofia's favourite sports, we've got three different activities or sports here, and they actually show what happened on Sports Day.

We've got a child throwing a beanbag into a target, we've got a child dribbling in football, and a child playing basketball.

That's what happened on Sofia's Sports Day.

And also they're not necessarily Sofia's favourite athletes or friends, it shows a wide variety of children competing from the all different year groups across all different sports.

Time for a check for understanding now.

I want you to choose the two most appropriate images that Sofia could add to a year-three Sports Day newsletter.

We've got a three-year-old child dribbling, Sofia's favourite footballer, or a year-three child running.

Which two are the most appropriate that Sofia could add to a year-three Sports Day newsletter?

It's A and C.

Remember, we are not choosing images that might be your favourite.

We wanna choose images that are most relevant and appropriate for what you are creating.

Let's go back to Jacob and Sofia now, who are talking about using images in templates.

Jacob asks, "Should I just use images that I like the best?

" And Sofia applies with, "No.

You should use the that best fit the messages of the document.

" Time for a check for understanding now.

I want you to decide if the image that I'm about to show you would be a good choice to use about a cooking and nutrition day, where children baked together.

So is it true, it would be a good image to use, or is it false, it wouldn't be a good image to use?

Let's have a look at that image.

It's true.

I think that is an appropriate image.

We've got three children there, and it looks like they're in aprons, and they've rolled their sleeves up to be nice and safe.

And we've got someone holding the bowl there and a spoon.

Looks like they're about to do some baking together.

So I think that is a good image to use.

So, now, let's watch this media clip to learn about how to add images into your desktop publication.

In the media clip, it shows you how to add images on Canva, but you can actually use any software that allows you to add images.

In this clip, we're gonna show you how to add an image using Canva into a placeholder.

You can use any software that allows you to edit or add images.

So let's click on the placeholder I want to replace.

And on Canva, on the left-hand side, I select an image from the toolbar on the left, and I'm gonna go into the Element section, and I'm gonna search for a trophy, click Enter, and then I'm not gonna use a Pro image, so I'm gonna scroll across until I find an image that is appropriate and free to use.

I'm gonna use this trophy, so I'm gonna click and drag it across into the placeholder, and watch how it automatically resizes that image for me.

So I'm dragging my image of a trophy over to this placeholder, and it automatically resizes for me.

So let's just delete the placeholder behind.

So I've clicked on the image of the clouds behind, and then I'm gonna click Delete.

And then let's do the same for this placeholder.

So the image of the cloud at the bottom, I'm gonna replace with a recycling bin.

So instead of a trophy, I'm gonna delete this text and search for a recycling bin.

And let's scroll across until I find an image that I can add.

Here we go.

So I'm gonna click and drag across, and it should resize the image for me.

There we go.

That's how to replace a placeholder with an image.

And let's just delete the placeholder behind.

There we go.

Time for a practise task now.

I want you to change the two images that you used and copied and pasted on your newsletter earlier.

So using the same file you worked on in task A, you need to replace the two images with two new ones.

And remember, the image should be an image that's appropriate for what you are creating, clearly show what you want it to, and not always be your favourite image.

Let's look at Jacob's example here.

He has changed the images on his newsletter.

The images that you've used will probably be different.

Let's think why these images might be appropriate.

They clearly show a trophy for winning the award, and they show a bin that represents tidiness.

And these weren't always Jacob's favourite images, but the ones that others will understand.

Before we finish, let's have a summary of what we've learned today.

Remember, content in desktop publishing is text and images.

When you are using a template, it allows you to copy and paste text or images into a pre-made document layout.

And I hope you did lots of copying and pasting of text and images today.

And remember, when you are using images in a desktop publication, it's really important they are appropriate for what you are creating, they're not always your favourite images, they're the ones that best fit the purpose of what you are making.

Thanks for learning with me today.

See you again soon.
