To help connect the content in your course, many teaches opt for the use of Buttons. There are a number of ways to set up buttons, none easier than using pre-made or pre-formatted options.

If you would like to have an easy and linkable "button" to connect the content in your course, follow the directions below:

1) Go to:

http://dabuttonfactory.com/

From this site, you can easily create button images that link to your page.

2) Set up a button to reflect the preferred color, look, and style.

3) Once you've set the button to your liking, click on "Download", which is the link directly below the button's picture.

4) Copy the URL link provided.

5) Create a new Canvas page, or use an existing Canvas page, where you would like to use the button and link it to other pages or resources that you use in your classroom. On this new Canvas page, you will embed the button images.

6) To do that, click on the "embed image" icon in the tool bar that runs above the "text editor" box. You'll note that the embed image icon is the "picture" of the mountains and sun.

7) From there, paste the copied link from step 4.

You should see the button appear on your created Page.

As always, be sure to "Save" your page before you close your browser.
