30-60 min. |
Before you can receive credit for this week's Internet assignment, you must complete last week's Internet assignment, even if you did not complete last week's Internet assignment in time to receive credit for it. For this week's assignment, you will add an image to your Home page and to the About Me page you made last week. After you learn how to add images to your webpages, you will also add a personal icon to your Discussion Board posts!
If you get stuck or need to ask for help, please tell me exactly what kind of problem you are having, and what step in the Instructions you have reached. If you have received some kind of error message, please tell me exactly what the error message says. Better yet, send me a screenshot! If you have published a page that is not working, please send me the complete address of the page. I am always glad to help with computer problems, but I cannot do that unless you give me specific information about the problem you are having. See also Mozilla Cheat-Sheet.
When you work with images on the Internet, you are usually going to be using images that you find on other people's pages. There are lots of great places to find images online! For example, over 15,000 images are currently available in my History of Science Collections image galleries. You can use your own photos, and you can search Google for images, too (http://images.google.com).
Whenever you take an image from another person's website, it is essential that you credit the source. For each image you use, you must provide Image Information so that people can find out the image you are using. There is nothing worse than finding an image on the Internet with no identifying information! You do not have to create a separate page for every image that you use, but you must provide information about every image that you use. Please read these Crediting Images Guidelines. Please make sure that you understand these Guidelines before you start collecting images to use. Usually, you will put the Image Information down at the bottom of the page where the image is found.
The image must be of the right format (jpg, jpeg or gif) and size (<500 KB), or you may need to crop or rotate it. See the Preparing Images resource page for instructions to crop or rotate images.
Note: If you are using images from the History of Science Collections image galleries, the 5 inch jpg format is most likely the one you want (unless you wish to crop it down to show a detailed portion of the image).
If you are using Google Sites, Google offers these tutorials for displaying and uploading images. To upload an image that already exists on the web, right-click an online image to copy its url, and then enter the url when uploading an image to your Google Sites web page.
If you are using iWeb, first add images to iPhoto. To add an image to iPhoto from a web page, right-click or control-click the image. Then in iWeb you can drag iPhoto images into your iWeb pages using iWeb's media browser. Images will automatically be downsized as necessary to a size appropriate for viewing on the web. Watch the "Customizing your pages" tutorial and, if you want more, the "Creating a photo album page" tutorial.
If you are using Composer, check out these instructions to Insert images with Composer. If you have questions as you go, check the Kaleidoscope help pages. Once there, click on the links for "Images" and for "Images Help."
Repeat Step 4 once again for your aboutme.html (or links.html) page.
STEP
6: Personal Icon (optional)Now that you know how to add images to your webpages, add a personal icon to your Discussion Board posts! Here are the instructions. (Mine is at right; you will see it if you read my comments on your Yuku personal reflections each week.)
STEP 7: Make your Desire2Learn declaration
After you are done with the assignment, go to Desire2Learn and make your gradebook declaration (you will find the declaration in the Quizzes area at Desire2Learn). This Desire2Learn gradebook declaration is governed by the Honor Code.
