The Lycos Multimedia tool seems to get quick results. If Bess keeps you from using these tools, you might try conducting your search from your home computer. You can save them and drag them onto your FirstClass desktop. When you get to school – they’ll still be on your FirstClass desktop and you can save them to your teacher folder.
Copyright and Fair Use Issues - Once you find an audio, video, or graphic – check to see if it’s okay for you to use on your web page. Look around the web site for information regarding use. If you don’t find that information, email the web master to ask for permission to use the file. Here’s a web link with information regarding copyright and Fair Use issues - http://www.ldisd.net/Training/copyright
If it’s okay to use the file:
Right-click the file link or picture
Select Save Picture As – for graphics, clipart, & pictures
OR Save Target As - video and audio clips
OR Save Background As – for background images
Save the file to your teacher folder on the server
· Don’t forget to copy the web link so you can site your sources on your web page or other documents.
