What are hyperlinks?

Using Hyperlinks

One of the most useful aspects of a document is being able to create links to other more in-depth information. The links, called hyperlinks allow you to turn words into clickable links to web sites.


Let's try creating our own link:

Here's a quick tutorial on how to create hyperlinks.

Assignment:

Create hyperlinks in your information sheets (Picture Test) on sexting. Here are the links that you'll create:

Sexting Definition - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexting
Punishment - http://uppermichiganssource.com/news/local/what-penalties-can-teens-face-for-sexting?id=863527
Sex Offender Registry - https://www.tn.gov/tbi/section/tennessee-sex-offender-registry

1. Create a new folder on your Google Drive called Hyperlinks.

2. Open the Serif doc in your "Picture Test" folder, make a copy and place it in the Hyperlinks folder you just created.

3. Place the links in the following locations in the document:

• Sexting Definition -  Place this link in the word "Sexting" in the header of the first paragraph.
• Punishment - Place this link in the word "crimes" in the first line of the second paragraph.
• Sex Offender Registry - Place this link in the words "sex offender" at the end of the second paragraph.

After placing these links, save the file and share the folder (julie6davis@gmail.com).

This project is worth 30 points and will be graded on technical accuracy. All the links must work properly.  All work must be completed by the end of class! Please make sure that your link arrives at the instructor's computer before you leave.
