Step 2: Finding Media
If you need to find images, sounds, or videos for the development of your project, use the
following:
- Search engines that can search specifically for sounds, images, and video
- Multimedia websites that contain images, sounds, and videos appropriate for
educational uses
Review the search engines and multimedia websites. Save any resources you find in your images_sounds folder of your Portfolio folder.
 Note: Be sure to cite your sources for multimedia resources in your Bibliography
document.

Step 3: Evaluating the Web
The uncontrolled publishing of information on the Web demands that learners develop skills to evaluate Web content critically for accuracy and relevance. In Step 1 of this
activity, you used your own criteria for selecting websites you would use by considering the depth and accuracy of the content, the source of information, and the usability of the site. Developing the same skills in your learners is important. In this step, you review website evaluation resources and consider ways to use them with your learners.
