History of Computers - Lesson 3 Hyperlinks and Alan Turing

For this lesson, you need to read the help sheet on how to hyperlink your Charles Babbage Google presentation to your Blog and add the link to a new post called 'Charles Babbage Lesson 2'.  You'll need to highlight the text on the post page and click on the blue Link button to make it active when someone reads your Blog post.

Next, read through the Alan Turing section of the Prezi for this unit.

Make a new Google presentation all about Alan Turing and what he did.  Add some images in, if you can.  Make sure you give the presentation a title.

Share the presentation - click Share and then Advanced and click on Anyone with the link.  Click Done and then copy the blue URL (hyperlink address).

On a new post called 'Alan Turing Lesson 3', paste the copied hyperlink address.  Highlight it and click on the blue Link button in your Blog post toolbar.

Click Publish on your Blog when you're finished.

If you don't finish this in the lesson, please finish it for homework (write this in your planner!).  S1 Computer room is open on Monday lunchtimes for Computing club.
L2L is open every lunchtime for Homework Club, except Wednesdays.

No excuses!  :-)
