Cross-post on tool to remove image backgrounds by Paul Murray, Portage Public Schools.  You can check out Paul's blog at  PPS Tech Integration and Training Dress Up Presentations by Removing Image Backgrounds How many ugly looking presentations are you going to have to look at again at the end of this project? I mean, just look at this example at the right. His picture (although ruggedly handsome) is sitting right on top of the Eiffel Tower and it has all this horrible background clutter distracting from the tower itself. Not to mention the  I “heart” Paris  image with that unappealing square, white background. Ugh. So, how can we fix it? How can the student keep the images he has so carefully selected, but get rid of that white background and the image clutter? Enter... EditPhotosForFree.com  has an EASY TO USE  background removal tool  that makes this quick and painless for teachers and students. Every time a student visits the...

Once you have selected an image and inserted it on your webpage, you have some setting options to choose from: Alignment - you can have it left, center or right aligned.  Note that left and right alignments for images will allow you (with another setting) to have the text flow around the picture. Size options - there are several size options so you can fit the picture as you want it on the page Text wrapping options - decide if you want the text to wrap next to the picture, or to be located just above and below it. Remove - to remove the picture from the page Selections do save as you pick them. The settings bar disappears when you click off the picture.

While it would be nice if Google simplified the image options (like they have in Documents), if your image is stored in Google Drive you go about inserting it a bit differently.  1. Click on Insert and go to Drive 2.   Select the Image option here.  3. This will let you search and select the image from your Drive.  That's it!  Just not intuitive when you have an Image option right under the Insert, but it does show how easy it is to integrate something that is already stored in your Google Drive.

The best way to "jazz" up your web pages so they are attractive to visitors is to add images.  Usually images selected for a web page tell either something about the content of the page, or something about the website owner.  One word of advice - make sure the image you want to use is in an accessible area (for instance NOT inside a picture app where it might be difficult to identify and select it).  To add an Image: 1. While in Edit mode, go to the Insert Menu and select Image 2. To find and select a new picture, click on the Upload Images button. 3. In the pop-up window, you will find and select the image from it's location on your computer.  4. Google will upload it to your site. Once the image has been uploaded to the site, you are able to use it anywhere on that specific site, as many times as you wish.
