You will now see the path (location) of the image you’re going to upload. Click Next.

Some Websites offer copyright-free images and others do not. If an image is not copyright-free, you must obtain written permission from the copyright owner to re- post the image on your Web page. Just because an image shows up in the Google search DOES NOT mean it is copyright-free. IMPORTANT: You must have parental permission before posting pictures of your students on the Internet. Your lab assistant will have the computer use forms with this important information. Use tables with a border set to 0 to help with page layout. This will help to ensure that the text and image(s) will show up in the correct place when viewed using different browsers (i.e. Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, FireFox, Opera, etc.) Remember that your table’s total width should not exceed 550 pixels, and the total width of the individual cells within your table must equal that same 550 to maintain a normal appearance of the content layout on your Web page. .
