(b) Do a search for “Alcatraz” on the website [|http://www.maps.google.com] Switch from map to Satellite view. What is the name of the island on which Alcatraz is located? Zoom in until you can still see the mainland and Alcatraz. How many boats with an obvious wake (waves behind the boat) can you see at this level? Switch back to MAP view and take a screen shot (press Ctrl + Alt + PrtSc) of the island in MAP view. Paste this image into your Word document as the solution to 2(b). Note: It is possible to take a screen shot of Alcatraz in Satellite or Hybrid view, but don’t do this because it will increase the size of your Word document by almost a gigabyte! (c) What do Monty Hall, the creator of IMAX projections, the founder of Harlequin Books, and the voice of Hall in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey have in common?

Suppose you need an image of a backpack for a study-aboard newsletter that you are writing. Find a site that provides free clip art by category or with an internal search engine and look for an image of a backpack. Your answer should include the following: (a) The search engine and terms used to find a clip art site (b) The URL for the clip art website and the method used to find the image. (c) The image itself, copied into your Word document. Resize the image so that it is easily visible, but does not take up more than half the page. (save the image as an image file and check its sixe before inserting it in your document. Large image files can make your document too big.)
 * 4) Finding Clip-Art Graphics**

1 Don’t just use an image search! Most images on the Web are protected by copyright.

By now you will have recorded your answers to the questions (properly formatted) in a Word document with the name //Lastname.doc // This Assignment must be less than 500kb. If the file size is larger than 500kb, check the size of your clipart graphic - you may find a smaller image. Also make sure you pasted the map of Alcatraz without the satellite image.
