Using+images

Challenges for students to learn about adding images and attribution to their blogs (by Miss W.) Source

**Students:** 1. Write a post about your  **Spring break or Easter holiday** . Include at least one image that is creative commons. Include the attribution at the bottom of the post. 2. Do you think you should have a **creative commons license**  for your blog? Why or why not? Is your audience mainly students in your class and/or the blogging challenge or have you had readers that are teachers and/or visitors you don’t know? 3. **Visit ten blogs**  from students in the challenge of different ages. How many of these blogs had images with attribution? How many blogs did not have images at all? Which blogs did you prefer to read and why? Leave your answer here as a comment or leave a comment on each of the blogs you visited. 4. After having visited Sue Waters on adding images  and creating a gallery , <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">**write two posts** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">about using images in blogs. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Make the second post ** like a tutorial **, so a student new to blogging could follow your instructions about using images in a post. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">5**. Create a visual post ** using no more than eight images – where the images tell a story. Remember to give attribution for the images you used. No writing in this post other than the title and attribution. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">6. From <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Bill Ferreirae <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;"> – I sometimes find a picture and tell students to <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">**use that picture to come up with a story** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">. It can be about the picture, what happened before, what will happen next, etc. So, at the top of the student activities is the image I have chosen for you to start with. Copy the image to your post, then write the story. Remember to give attribution. If you don’t have your own blog, tell your story in a comment here. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">7. From <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">[|EileenG] <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;"> – Pick one, or more of your ethnic backgrounds and <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">**post about the culture** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">. ANYTHING! Food, religions, sports, festivals, languages, etc. Include a picture of the place in the country/region posted about. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">8. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">**Be creative** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;"> with regard to images – create a collage on a topic or colour etc, use glogster or animoto or prezi. Just remember you must link back to the original image and give attribution for any images used.
