RESOURCE – Content Block
Step 1| Copy the Embed code above
Step 2| Select New Resource.
Step 3| Give the resource a title, and use the dropdown menu to select a folder for the resource (resources must be saved to a folder).

Step 5| Paste the Embed code and be sure to replace the sample URL with the URL of the website you wish to embed in the HTML Source Editor and select Update.
Step 6| In the New Resource window you will see the embedded website as a yellow box. Select Save Resource.
Your embedded content will appear as a
