Getting Ready...Articles with Shady Stuff for Kids

Well, I got my class numbers today. I have four courses this semester-- Adobe Photoshop, Web Design, Multimedia/Digital Video, and Advanced Computer Applications (dual credit MS Office). Only one class is totally full (which is awesome since I had a computer that wouldn't turn on after sitting all summer!) and some are around 20, which is most ideal for my computer classes.

Anyway, as I was preparing an activity for my Photoshop classes on Photoshop and the media, I realized a common problem: the article had some questionable content. There were some screenshots that included profanity and some ladies in lingerie (and I realize they probably see all of this in magazines and online daily, but I don't want any parents up here angry at me!). So, I needed to get those off of there!

One of my Google Chrome extensions that I use to generate a PDF file (often blogs are blocked at my school by the firewall so I have to PDF articles frequently so students can read offline) is called Print Friendly & PDF.  I have only used the extension, but I read that you can create a shortcut button and use it in other browsers as well (so I tried creating the link on the Favorites bar in IE and it worked like a charm).

I created a short video that shows you the steps and just how easy this is to use. So, take a look! (click bottom right corner to enlarge screen)

Hope this helps someone. Back to work!
