** __STEP #2--Web Development__ ** 4. Organize Pictures and Content in a useful, clear, and concise manner.
 * 1) Open Google and login to your Google Doc Account
 * 2) Open a New Document Template (New-->Template)
 * 3) Use of the three templates listed below
 * a. Research Paper
 * b. Project Report
 * c. Blue Ray Coverletter
 * Teacher Approval of template of your choice
 * Develop your website as __an application or advertisement__ for the work and accomplishments of your scientist.
 * ===produce you page in a persuasive tone (why is your scientist better than others?)===
 * Organize and display your information creatively and logically to best highlight your scientists accomplishments.
 * ====**Avoid writing lengthy paragraphs if possible.**====
 * ====**Keep information to short, descriptive bullet points and paraphrases**====
 * Present your application/advertisement in first person-present tense (as you are the person and they are alive)

**Using Copyrighted Material**
When you use copyrighted material in your creative projects MAKE SURE YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THE FOLLOWING:
 * The nature of your use
 * The purpose of your use
 * The amount of your use
 * The effect on the potential market

ARE YOU BEING TRANSFORMATIVE in your use? ASK YOUR SELF
 * Did I repurpose or add value to the copyrighted material I am using?
 * Why did you choose this material?
 * What value does it give to your project?
 * Is this the BEST material to use?
 * Can I use something that is not copyrighted instead?

**Finding Copyright Friendly Images**
Use these copyright friendly sites for finding images that are in the public domain or licensed under Creative Commons

**MORE INFO ABOUT FAIR USE FOR EDUCATION**
Educators can, under some circumstances: Learners can, under some circumstances: http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/resources/publications/code_for_media_literacy_education/
 * The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education outlines five principles, each with limitations:**
 * 1. Make copies of newspaper articles, TV shows, and other copyrighted works, and use them and keep them for educational use.
 * 2. Create curriculum materials and scholarship with copyrighted materials embedded.
 * 3. Share, sell and distribute curriculum materials with copyrighted materials embedded.
 * 1. Use copyrighted works in creating new material.
 * 2. Distribute their works digitally if they meet the transformativeness standard.
 * 3. STUDENT USE OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS IN THEIR OWN ACADEMIC AND CREATIVE WORK
 * DESCRIPTION:** Students strengthen media literacy skills by creating messages and using such symbolic forms as language, images, sound, music, and digital media to express and share meaning. In learning to use video editing software and in creating remix videos, students learn how juxtaposition reshapes meaning. Students include excerpts from copyrighted material in their own creative work for many purposes, including for comment and criticism, for illustration, to stimulate public discussion, or in incidental or accidental ways (for example, when they make a video capturing a scene from everyday life where copyrighted music is playing).
 * PRINCIPLE:** Because media literacy education cannot thrive unless learners themselves have the opportunity to learn about how media functions at the most practical level, educators using concepts and techniques of media literacy should be free to enable learners to incorporate, modify, and re-present existing media objects in their own classroom work. Media production can foster and deepen awareness of the constructed nature of all media, one of the key concepts of media literacy. The basis for fair use here is embedded in good pedagogy.
 * LIMITATIONS:** Students’ use of copyrighted material should not be a substitute for creative effort. Students should be able to understand and demonstrate, in a manner appropriate to their developmental level, how their use of a copyrighted work repurposes or transforms the original. For example, students may use copyrighted music for a variety of purposes, but cannot rely on fair use when their goal is simply to establish a mood or convey an emotional tone, or when they employ popular songs simply to exploit their appeal and popularity. Again, material that is incorporated under fair use should be properly attributed wherever possible. Students should be encouraged to make their own careful assessments of fair use and should be reminded that attribution, in itself, does not convert an infringing use into a fair one.

__** STEP #3--Embedding your document to the website **__ ** = STEP #4--Publishing your information = In order for someone to SEE your google doc that you embedded in the google site, you MUST publish To publish your document
 * 1) Goto the website link http://sites.google.com/site/ chemistrywhoswho/
 * 2) If you are not logged into your Google Account (under your Gaggle username) click the sign-in button in the bottom left hand corner of the page.
 * 3) Click on the center link to view the list of distinguished scientists
 * 4) Click on your Scientists hyper linked name.
 * 5) This is the page you are developing and can edit freely.
 * 6) To edit or embed widgets, click on the 'EDIT PAGE' tab at the top left hand corner.
 * 7) To EMBED
 * click and hold on the insert tab
 * scroll down to the type of Google Doc you want to embed (Document or Presentation)
 * Select the Document you want to embed (if you Document does not appear, you are probably have the document under a different account)
 * Click select/save for the document
 * ** MAKE SURE TO CLICK 'SAVE' ON THE WEBSITE TO SAVE THE EMBEDDED WIDGET! **
 * STEPS TO CREATING EXTRA WEBPAGES
 * 1) Goto the website link http://sites.google.com/site/chemistrywhoswho/
 * 2) If you are not logged into your Google Account (under your Gaggle username) click the sign-in button in the bottom left hand corner of the page.
 * 3) Click on the center link to view the list of distinguished scientists
 * 4) Click on your Scientists hyper linked name.
 * 5) Click on 'Create New Page' tab in upper left hand corner
 * 6) Create a new page name (Bibliography, Honors/Awards, ect)
 * 7) IMPORTANT--Click on the PUT UNDER 'SCIENTISTS NAME' TAB to make sure that the new page is linked to your current scientists page.
 * 1) Open your google DOC
 * 2) If you included your name on your Google Docs, make sure it is just your first name and last initial.
 * 3) Go to Share> Publish as a webpage
 * 4) Click the checkbox that says "automatically publish when changes are made"
 * 5) You will get a message..."this document is not published, Do you want to publish now?"
