Module 2, Activity 4.7 - Images and the Web
Student Page
(teacher lesson for this lesson)

Introduction: You will be focusing on solving a series of classic design problems with images in this lesson. Each group will list the problem, their thoughts on the issues, and a solution that would satisfy all parties.
Activities: Task One - Solving Digital Dilemmas You and a team of up to 3 other students will need to solve the problems listed below. Record both your discussion and your solutions.
1. Copyright Images on the Internet belong to people. Even when they are on "free sites" or you find them with a search engine, you are breaking the law if you re-use them. How can you design good pages but never break the law?
	2. Slow Pages Images and animations slow down how quickly a web page loads. If a page is slow, people just hit the back button and don't view it. What technique can you use to keep the pages full of images but prevent lag time?

Objectives: You will be able to - understand the major functions of photographs in publications - apply understanding of print journalism to the electronic media - speak to inform
Resources: - a previous assignment with images which you will fix for the web
	3. Predators People can search for names and faces on the internet to find others. Parents use this to abduct children and predators use it to find children.
How can a newspaper or school paper protect youth and children but still put names to photos? Does your school have a policy? Putting your site behind a sign-in limits your audience, so it is not really a solution. Task One Continued. . . For each of the problems record: What is the problem? Who is involved? Reasons why the problem is difficult Potential solutions Task Two - Tell All Appoint one person to explain what you found and how you would solve the problems. The teacher will ask that person to present one of the problems your group worked on. Once the presentations are done, the class will look at some sample assignments the class completed earlier in the year.
