Way 2 Go!

Yesterday we made a lot of progress at CyberKids!

We learned how to isolate photos and we saved them to a "pen drive".

Let's review what we did so that each of you can repeat this process (saving images/pictures) for use in the future. There will be 1 difference - instead of saving the image to a "pen drive", you will save it to your computer.
The file you will save the image to is called "My Documents".
(Each computer has a file with this name. ;-) )

To find and save an image/picture to your computer follow these steps:


  1. Do a google search (www.google.com). Click on images. Then type in a "keyword" of the kind of image you would like to find (example: Big Ben, calico cat, rabbit, John Cena). After that click on "Search Images".
  2. You will fly through cyberspace to a page (or pages) of images that you can choose from.
  3. Select your image and click on it.
  4. You will see a small image at the top of the page. To see a full size image click on it.
  5. Now the image is isolated (alone) and in full size. You can save this image to use in the future.
  6. Go to File (upper left hand corner of tool bar) and click.
  7. Click on "Save As".
  8. A box will open. It says "Save In". Along the left side of that box you will see some icons. Click on the one that says "My Documents".
  9. Finally, name your image (example: dog, cat, etc.) and click on "Save".

Voila! You are done! It was easy, wasn't it.

Now you try it. Let me know what happened.
