Finding & Saving Online Images Where can I find Google's Image Search? You can access Google's Image Search by selecting the "images" tab. It can also be found at http://images.google.com.   How do I search for images in GOOGLE? Type your search term in the image search box and click the "Search" button or hit "Enter" on your keyboard. When you see the results page, click on the thumbnail version of the picture you want to view. This displays a larger version of the image, as well as the page on which the original image is located.   Can I search for images of a specific size or type?   Yes. Use the Advanced Image Search page to refine your search. Options include size ranges, coloration, filetypes and more.   Save Your Images in your Blizzard network folder Blizzard files are safe because they are backed up every night.  You won't lose your work.

Cite Your Sources   Plagiarism is to intentionally or unintentionally use the ideas, facts, or words of another person without acknowledging that they are not your own.  Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty which Hopkins considers very serious misconduct. It can be avoided by accurately citing your source material. If you are uncertain if a source or idea should be cited, ask your teacher for guidance. For this project, be sure to paste the URL of the web sites you use on the bottom of your poster.
