Show a picture of a diagram or process and add it to Word, PowerPoint or Sakai
Provide a roadmap to a part of your course for your students
Show your students how to make screen shots, so they can show instead of tell you about a problem

There's many places you can add an image, such as in Lessons, the Syllabus or your course Home page
In Lessons, click on Add Content, then Add Text
In the "Text Editor" displayed, click where you want the picture to display, then click on the image tool on the tool bar
In the Image Properties box, click on Browse Server
On the bottom, click on the Browse button, find and click on your picture, click Open
- On the right, click on the Upload button
- The name of your picture will show up in the middle of the screen, click on the picture name
You'll now return to the Image Properties box:
- In the alternative text box: type in what is important about the image
- If needed, change the width; Click OK.
If you need to change the picture size (if you have scroll bars displaying or it's too small), you can click to the right of the image, on the Edit icon.
- Click on the image, then click on the image tool on the tool bar
- In the Image Properties box, you usually should change only the width; the height should automatically adjust; Click OK.

To draw straight arrows and boxes, and add numbers or text: try out the free tool Jing
Download Jing free at home, or ask IT to install it at work. Or try it out in Tech Center 219.
