BLEND

Blend & Google (example embedding a Google Doc syllabus in Blend)

In Blend select Syllabus, click Edit, then select HTML Editor at the top right, then follow the instructions in one of the below links to determine what you need to enter in the edit window.

Using Google Docs for dynamic Canvas content   or  Embedding Google Docs in Canvas

Embed a Google Calendar in Canvas (have not tried this myself)

Embedding an outside website into a Blend page

To embed another website in an inline frame (basically a scrollable box) within a Blend page open the HTML Editor and paste the following

<p><iframe src=”replace with your site’s URL” width=”100%” height=”700″></iframe></p>

For example, <p><iframe src=”http://lasacs.com/” width=”100%” height=”700″></iframe></p>

If the height number is large enough for your entire website, the inline frame will not have its own scrollbar (Hello TEAMS).

If the URL starts with http://  instead of https:// everyone that browses to the blend page using Chrome will need to click the shield in the far right of the address bar and select  Load anyway or Load unsafe script (depending on your Chrome version). Details & procedure for other browsers.

User-added image

Unfortunately the free weebly.com web pages use http:// and a upgrade to business level is required to get https://.
