Insert an image

On slide 6 add the museum photo called MonaPark.jpg from the shared images folder, place it to cover the right half of the slide with ‘Crop to fill’ so the focal point stays centered, and apply a 4pt drop shadow so it reads against the pale grey background. Confirm the alt text reads: Museum at Mona Park, students sketching sculptures.

Before I share the lesson, make this photo insertion review-ready: show where the image is stored, confirm the crop keeps the subject’s face centered, ensure the image file size is under 500KB for fast loading, and add the alt text. Flag if cropping will cut off important details for the activity sheet.

I just inserted a high-resolution museum image into the student slideshow and now the file is clunky; the IT admin will complain and some students have low-bandwidth at home. I don’t know whether to replace the image with a compressed copy or reduce its dimensions. Which option preserves classroom clarity while fixing file size, and what export settings or quick steps will get the image under 500KB without losing the important detail for a sketching activity?

Across many decks we repeatedly get slowed by full-resolution images that bloat files and break load times. I want a single habit to fix this at source. Should we centralize images in a shared asset folder with size limits, require contributors to run images through a ‘save for web’ step, or create a tiny script to auto-compress on upload? Recommend one habit I can implement this week and a one-sentence policy I can paste into the faculty submission form.
