Thursday September 13: Combining Images and Text Using Tables

Greetings, one and all:

By this point in the class, you should have the following tools:

• a folder to store stuff on Box.com
• an account on PortaPortal to store websites 

You should also have the following resources

• a topic, something you want to write about
• some websites about that topic
• Some information you've written about that topic from each of those websites
• some pictures about that topic

Now its time to take it to the next level.

Assuming that you have everything done from above -- and I WILL be checking -- here is what I want you to do to start putting everything together

Crank up a copy of Libre Office Writer on your computer (I'll help if you need help finding it)

Insert  a table in it that has at least 20 cells in it... you could have 2 rows and 10 columns, or vice versa, or any setup you like...again, I'll demo how to do that

Remember those eight images about your topic you were supposed to put onto Box.com for safe keeping?
Get 'em and put one image each into 8 of the cells in your table

Use the other cells to put in information you have ALREADY found, along with the EXACT website address where you've found each particular piece of information.

In other words, in each cell, put a website address, and the three complete sentences worth of info you found there

So remember: in this Libre Office text document, you're making a table, filling it with pictures, information and website addresses

and make it look awesome :-)

cheers,

Mr. L
