Need to Resize for Web?

If your original image is under 1MB, this handy tool: Make a Thumbnail, will create a small image (from 100x100 pixels to 300x300 pixels). You can then link this on the website to a larger image or just use the small thumbnail as a button to go to another section of the site.

Very easy to use. Just click browse to locate the image on your computer, select the size desired, and click "Make a Thumbnail"

Example to the left of gazing out the window on a lovely fall day. The 100x100 pixel image is only 4k!

Copyright Friendly Clip Art

While the GVC contest encourages original art and photos, there are some cases where you just NEED to find a piece of clip art. Here are some sources:

• Pics4Learning - A library of images donated by students, teachers, photographers... anyone with a picture to share. Permission to use AND citation information right under the picture!
• WPClipart - All images are public domain. While originally created for Word Processing and printing, they work well as web images.
• Wikimedia Commons - Many thousands of images. Scroll down under full sized image to see the particular licensing for this particular image. Almost all require attribution; some, but only a few do not allow derivative works (which means you can't edit the picture.)
• Ookaboo - Creative commons site for finding great (free) images for class work.
  
• Find Icons -  Nice site for free icons.
