The screen snapshot on the left shows a photo sharing web site, Flickr, with a search engine for finding photos that are okay to use as long as you give the photographer credit. View the Camp Leha final project from a previous quarter to see how to give credit.

Remember if you want feedback on your project and an opportunity to make corrections, you must submit it by Tuesday, June 16th.

This podcast includes some announcements and some tips for the Chapter 4 Assignment. It mentions a screen reader simulation used by visually impaired people who surf the web. Here is a link so you can check it out. It takes a few seconds to load so be patient. I think it will be a great motivation for including the alt attribute in all your image tags along with good descriptions of the images.

This podcast has some workflow tips for the Chapter 2 Assignment and a strong recommendation for using Firefox and getting the Web Developer Toolbar. I wouldn't want to do web work without it.
