Using Pictures From the Internet

Use www.pics4learning.com for this activity. This website offers copyright-friendly images that are specifically donated for teachers and students to use.

When using pictures in any report here are the main steps:

1. Copy the picture

2. Paste the picture into your document

3. Format the Picture

4. Copy the URL/Citation for the picture from the website

5. Paste the website on or underneath a picture using a textbox.

1. Copy the Picture:

Demonstrate how to get to this site from the Mrs. Maurus' Website, and pick a topic, then a picture. Show how to copy this picture by right clicking on the picture then choosing copy.

2. Paste the picture into your document:

Open up word and right click, choose Paste. Your picture will appear on the docuemnt.

3. Format the picture:

Double click the picture (which will open up the formatting tools) and choose Text Wrapping - Behind Text. This allows students to move the picture around the page freely.

4. Copy the URL/Citation for the picture from the website

Go back to the website where you got your picture, in pic4learning.com they include a bibliography for each picture, all you need to do is copy that bibliography by highlighting it, right click on it, and choose copy.

5. Paste the website on or underneath a picture using a textbox

Go back to your document, insert a text box, and right click INSIDE the text box and paste the citation. I enocourage students to make the citation font size very small so as not to distract the picture, the move the textbox underneath or on top of the picture (whichever looks better)
