Using a Media Area

1. Adding a Content Block Inside a Media Area:
   • Let’s say you choose the text block to start. Once the Media Area appears, you can begin adding content for your students.

1. • You can do this in two ways:
     1. From the Toolbar: (reference the step in Creating a Media Area).
     2. Using the "/" character to open the quick menu:
        • A much faster and more powerful way is to use the “/” character.
        • Once you type this character, the menu with all the content types available to you will open.

1. • This menu will allow you to choose from a variety of options such as Image, Video, Audio, Document, Podcast, Text to Speech, among others. This makes it easy to quickly and directly access the content you want to insert into your Media Area.
2. Understanding Media Blocks:
   • Media blocks are likely to be the most appealing for you since they give your activity a more visually engaging appearance. These blocks behave similarly, so to help you understand the basics, let’s go through a general example of how to add a media block. For specific guides on how to use each type of media block, you can refer to the detailed instructions below. [Insert link here]
3. Media Block:
   • Once you select a media block, the corresponding interface for adding that type of content will appear. In most cases, you'll see a block like this:

1. • Click on the block to access it and start adding your content. Whether it’s a video, image, or text, the content will be added directly into the Media Area.
2. Managing Media Blocks:
   • To the right of the media block (referencing the image above), there is a button with three dots. Clicking this button opens a small menu that allows you to delete the block if you've made a mistake.

1. • Recommendation: These empty blocks should not be visible to your students, as they do not contribute anything visually and may appear odd.
