How to Add Supplemental Links to Your Global Explorers Notion Planner

1 Comment

One of the best things about using the Global Explorers Notion planner is how easy it is to customize. You can add your own resources like videos, book links, or online articles so everything your family needs for a unit study is easily accessible in one place.

In this quick tutorial, I’ll show you two simple ways to add supplemental links directly into your Notion planner: in the Task List and in the Bookmarks section.

Option 1: Add a Link to the Task List

The Task List helps you keep lessons organized by title and subject. You can embed links, mark activities complete, and add a date as you go.

Step 1: Open the Notion planner and go to the Task List for the country study you’re working on.

Step 2: Click New Page. Then enter the Resource Title (e.g., Kid’s Animated History with Pipo: Ancient Egypt, Part 2).

Click New Page to add your new resource.

Step 3: Select a Subject from the drop-down menu (Geography & Culture, Language Arts, History, etc.).

Choose a subject from the drop-down menu to keep your Task List organized by area of study.

Step 4: Paste the URL for the video or resource into the link field.

Paste the video or resource URL into the link field so it appears directly in your Task List.

Step 5: Insert an icon to distinguish the resource type.

Add an icon (like a TV for videos) so you can tell resources apart at a glance.

Done! Now the new resources appear right alongside your other unit lessons.

Option 2: Add a Link in the Bookmarks Section

The Bookmarks section helps you keep all your supplemental resources in one place. You can embed videos, save web articles, and organize links for easy access.

Step 1: Scroll down to the Bookmarks section in your Notion planner.

Step 2: Click the “+” button and choose either: Video (if it’s a video link) or Web bookmark (if it’s a webpage or article).

Click the “+” button and select Video or Web bookmark depending on the type of resource you’re adding.

Step 3: After clicking the “+” button, you can simply type “/video” or “/web” to quickly pull up the embed options.

Type /video or /web after clicking “+” to pull up the embed options instantly.

Step 4: Paste in the URL and click Create Bookmark to add the resource to your Bookmarks section.

Paste the URL and click Create Bookmark to add it to your planner.

Notion will automatically generate a visual card or video embed. You can drag and drop to rearrange your bookmarks anytime.

That’s it! With just a few clicks, you can customize your Global Explorers Notion planner to include supplemental videos, book links, and online activities that make our unit studies even easier for you to use.
