Adding an H5P Activity with the Text Editor

Note: In this activity, we will insert an H5P learning object into a Moodle Page resource. 
Note: Grades will not be recorded in the gradebook for these H5Ps.
Note: There must be H5Ps in your course Content bank in order to use the text editor H5P feature. 

Why insert H5Ps into Moodle tools? Including H5Ps for review or extra practice without the consequences of grades may allow learners to focus and repeat activities.
