Using Web Graphics
Look at any one of the pages on the Connect Online: Web Learning Adventures Web site. Many of these pages contain real information that the authors obtained permission to use. Pictures, clip art, sounds, video, and photographs all have copyright protection. You need permission to use them, but you also need to know how to use them. Find a picture you like, and with your mouse, right-click it once. From the drop-down menu, select "Save Picture As" to save the picture in a folder on your computer. Practice saving photos and inserting them as images into a Word file or other document, but be careful how you use any images you copy. Remember what you learned in Chapter 1 about Copyright.

Evaluate a Site
Pick one of the web sites that you visited in Activity 2.4 and discuss what you liked about it. Was it pleasing to the eye? Did it have enough information? Did the links work? Did they lead to useful information? What else would you like to learn? Discuss your opinions with a partner.

Visit Student Web Sites
Students just like you have created hundreds of Web sites. Take a look at these student-created Web sites listed in the Go Online box on the Chapter 2 top page. CyberFair sites are pages that students created about their local communities. ThinkQuest sites are pages that students created to help other students to learn. The Brandywine site was an individual project that one whole class participated in.
