Great Graphics For Teachers!!!!
Often, teachers wonder where to get great graphics for their Web Pages, Activity Sheets, Newsletters, Power Point, and Emails. I have been pretty lucky with finding graphics for these types of things. So, I thought I would take a moment to share some tips and great places to get graphics...
Let's start with some graphic tips for teachers!
Pasting graphics into Word Documents, Emails, Paint, and other Windows Documents. 1.) Find the graphic you want 2.) Right click on the graphic. A box will appear. 3.) Drag to the word copy in the box. 4.) Click on copy 5.) Go into the document where you would like the picture to appear. 6.) Right click where you would like the graphic to appear and drag to paste. Click on Paste. -- OR -- Go to file and drag to paste.
Putting Graphics in Emails Before you can place graphics into you emails you have to make sure that you email account is setup to except the HTML code. This is easy to do and you only need to do it once. 1.) Make sure you are logged into your mail program. 2.) On the tool bar click on tools and a box will appear. 3.) In the tools box drag down to options. 4.) A new window should now be open. The folder will probably have tabs at the top of the folder. 5.) Click on the tab that says send. 6.) Now you should be on a page that has a few options. One of those options should give you the choice to choose HTM over plain text. 7.) Make sure HTML is checked rather than plain test. 8.) Now just hit the button that says ok and you are ready to insert graphics. 9.) Find a graphic you would like and right click on the graphic. A little box will appear. 10.) In the box - Drag to the word copy and right click. 11.) Go to the mail message you wish to paste the graphic in and right click in the message and drag to paste. 12.) Magic your picture will appear...
