PhotoImpact is an all-in-one solution for digital imaging. It places a wealth of tools at your fingertips for everything you need for the design of Web page graphics and image editing. When designing Web page components, please remember HCISD web pages should be designed to fit within the standard District screen resolution to avoid having to scroll left-to-right and therefore should be no more than 700 pixels wide.
Web Component & Background Designer
Web Component objects typically serve as navigational or other standard elements on a Web page – bullets, banners, buttons, icons and separators. The Component Designer in the Web Menu contains a large selection of preset components that you can customize and use in your Web project.
Image Optimization refers to the process of compressing image file sizes to make them appropriately reduced for Web pages, resulting in faster load times. Files can be optimized in any one of the three standard formats for the Web: .jpg, .gif and .png. However, .jpg and .gif are the HCISD standard. Each image type or format has its own characteristics and is suitable for different types of images.

Ulead PhotoImpact 8.0 – Photo Editing
Photo Editing Tips
1. Open or Acquire the Image
• Choose File Open as normal –or–
• Acquire the Image from a Scanner or Digital Camera
o Click either the Scanner or Camera icon on the
Toolbar Select the Device Click OK
2. Adjust Brightness & Contrast
Makes an image lighter or darker and allows you to make parts of it stand out or blend in more
• Choose one of the Brightness/Contrast toolbar icons or Format Brightness & Contrast
• Click an image to adjust. A thumbnail preview is provided as well as real-time changes to the image.
• Adjusted too much? Click Reset or Undo.
3. Add/Remove Elements
• Using tools under the standard selection icon, parts of an image can be removed or moved
4. Crop
• Select the Standard Selection Tool
• Designate the Shape of the Tool (Squares & rectangles work best on non-white backgrounds)
• Draw around the part of the image you’d like to keep (Use Undo to remove the outline if you make an error)
• Click Crop to remove the excess
4. Add Effects to the Image
Multiple effects can be found in the EasyPallete Gallery and Libraries: Lighting, Rain Drops, Styles, Photographic techniques, Artistic Effects, and more
• Open the EasyPallette Select the image (click on it) Select an effect Click and drag the effect to the image
5.Save and Compress the Image
Note: Always save the original file in case you want to work on it again later without (a) having to recreate it and/or (b) loosing image quality. Do NOT ftp uncompressed files to the Web or use them in Web pages
• File Save As on the Menu bar
• Assign an appropriate image file name
• Set the image Type as .jpg/.jpeg/.jpe
• Click Options and compress the image according to the use and current District standards OK Save -or- Tool Bar: Tool Panel: (Original Image)
Saving Images for the Web
• Evaluate the use of the Image….will it be only for the Web? Image quality for the computer monitor is 96 dots per inch (dpi). However, to increase quality while being file-size-conscious, we generally shoot for resolution of 100-110 dpi.
• Resize the image with the Transform Tool to reduce its actual overall size (measurement). Use the padlock icon to retain image proportion during sizing. Remember, web pages are measured in pixels and the typical web page is 700 pixels wide by 500 pixels tall or smaller.
• Adjust Compression so that File Size is no more than 20-30kb. Compression levels above 80-85% should not drastically affect the image quality.
Saving Images for PowerPoint or Paper
• PowerPoint
o Maintain a high image resolution (400dpi+) because it will be blown-up larger-than-life.
o Avoid distortion when it is projected on-screen, by setting the Size at 4-6 inches – not pixels.
• Paper
o District color inkjet printers generally have a resolution of 300 dpi - higher for color laser printers. Tailor images intended for print with an appropriate resolution; remember higher resolution = larger file.
o Generally, 150-200dpi is acceptable for print, especially if placed on a Web site for distribution.

WME: Web-based Mathematics Education
An Idea Whose Time Has Come
• Mathematics teachers and students need help in many countries.
• Availability and standardization of the Web and the Internet have grown and evolved sufficiently.
• Maturing technologies: MathML, ECMAScript, DOM, SVG, XML, CSS, Web Services, ...
• Symbolic and numerical computation systems, have matured and become Internet Accessible.
• Decreasing cost and increasing speed of WAN, LAN, and wireless networking.
• Schools in many places have begun to deploy Internet/Web in classrooms.
Web Helps Math Edu
The Web offers helpful materials for Mathematics teaching/learning.
• The Ohio Resource Center for Mathematics, Science, and Reading provides online resources for mathematics education.
• Mathematics section of the US Department of Education site.
• The National Science Foundation’s Math Is Power.
• The IES sponsored Education Resources Information Center, an extensive literature database.
• The Eisenhower National Clearinghouse for Mathematics and Science Education (ENC) links to lesson plans and activities.
