Midterm Exam

Homework for Tuesday:

 Part One: It is important to carefully evaluate the reliability of electronic web and print media, especially in an academic setting. Go to the website maintained by CNet called Pictures that Lie:

http://news.com.com/2300-1026_3-6033210-1.html

Look at the photos and read the comments on the right. Choose one of the photos to analyze in detail.

Make an entry in your blog discussing:

• What picture you chose and why
• Where did the picture originate?
• How was it manipulated?
• Why was it manipulated?
• Was the manipulation harmful? Why or why not?

Part Two: Create a new folder in your Groups folder called Hometown. Collect at least five pictures of your hometown from sources such as Flickr, Stock Exchange, or other sources (including your own photos) and save them in this folder.
