1- Spaghetti & Marshmallows
In your groups, you should come up with 4 different plans for next class.
2- Guidelines
Look over District Guidelines 3. Keep in mind, you'll have a test over these at the end of the week.
3- Stock Photography
When doing projects in Multimedia, it is important than you understand which images are available for use in your projects, and which aren't.
Stock photography is a supply of photos collected to use instead of hiring a photographer. To use most stock photography commercially requires paying licensing fees. However, alot of services provide plenty to be used without cost for non-commercial purposes.
While it's nice to give credit to your sources for using photographs online, it still isn't proper without permission. In addition, pulling images randomly from online could result in using a copyrighted image. If that is the case, a company could contact their lawyers. Some companies are more likely to do this than others, other caompanies just like to make an example of someone every once in a while. In addition to the lack of professionalism, taking the chance isn't worth it.
A good number of stock image providers have photos in which they have already given the public permission to use them. Majority of these sites do require you to create an account in order to access any of the stock imagery, free-photos included.
FreeStockImages.net has a rather nice list of resources.
4- iPhoto
Using video tutorials, learn how to modify images with iPhoto. Take a free stock photo, and using iphoto manipulate it. On your blog show both the original and your final edit. Don't forget to source the photo.
