Working on Favorite Place (Day 2 -- very brief due to Innisbrook) Students searched for and located a full size image of their favorite place.  Students opened and saved a word doc as favpla hil. Students copied the URL of the fav place image and pasted it in their favpla doc. Students copied and pasted fav place image into favpla doc below its URL.  Students saved their fav place image to their home directory (labeled with the name of their fav place).

• Next time -- Check and verify fav place doc has working URL and image.  Check and verify that the image is saved there as well. Create script for fav place project.
