Tackk


How To

To create a Tackk board, click the pencil in the green box at the top right corner of the page. Select blank canvas to begin. Build your Tackk by selecting one of the icons on the black bar. If you don’t know what an icon means, hover over it for help. The first icon is HEADLINE. Use this as your title and throughout your tackk to divide up your information. The next icon is TEXT. Use this to add information to your board. The third icon is PHOTO. You can add one image or several images to create a slideshow. The fourth icon is VIDEO. Select this to add a Youtube video or other supported video file. Continue to build your tackk by adding different types of media. You can link a website in your text or add the sixth icon, BUTTON, to link to another site. Add a MAP using the seventh icon. The second to last icon is MEDIA. Use this icon to add other media. You can even add a Thinglink, Kahn Academy video, or one of their 300+ supported services. Use the right column to customize your Tackk with colors, fonts, backgrounds, and even your own URL.
