Helen's pages

I'm not sure if to blog on my group assignment, but I suppose as it's all EDN 113 based this is the best place for it.I have been working for the last couple of day's (and well into the early hours) on our group task, searching for images from Creative Commons that I can use. I have also taken a couple of screen print shots, one in particular is of a book on pollution, which is our topic. As the book is located on the Scholastic website I have sent an email to them asking permission to use the image as long as I correctly reference the site. I have read thoroug the copyright conditions and it states that you can only link to the Scholastic home page. I want to make certain I can use the image- hense the email, although I am still waiting. I am also very concerned about correctly referencing screen shots, I know we chatted about them on the discussion board but I can not seem to find them. I will go on Skype today and see if any one can help me. Scholastic has lots of good ideas for books for all sorts of topics, I found it very useful. It has a search function, you can put in an author's name or a topic and you can also request certain year groups to narrow the search. The link is ; http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/home.jsp I hope you find it useful. As we have been working collaboratively on the website, one of the resources we used was google docs, I have found this to be really useful in making sure every one can access and edit a document. https://docs.google.com/ , I will use this resource in the future, I can see how you could use this if you were team teaching .
