SESSION 1
Multimedia, Graphics, and Web Software
1
Classify software by purpose and output.
2
Explain basic image concepts and file formats.
3
Practice responsible media-use decisions before creating.

From Productivity Software to Media and the Web
Short review and Media Detective
6
Week 8 reminded us that application software helps people do tasks. Week 9 zooms in on applications that
create media, edit images, search information, and communicate online.
document spreadsheet presentation photo editor browser communication tool
Media Detective prompts
What output does this tool help create, access, or communicate?
Does it work mostly with text, image, audio, video, webpages, or messages?
What safe or responsible-use rule should guide its use?

Multimedia Software
More than one form of content works together
7
Multimedia software handles combinations of media. The goal is usually to inform, entertain, teach,
present, or tell a story using more than plain text.
Elements
text
images
audio
video
interactivity
Examples
media player
video editor
audio editor
presentation tool
interactive app
Typical outputs
short video, slideshow, podcast clip,
interactive lesson, multimedia
presentation, or digital story
Think: if the software helps combine many media forms, it may belong to the multimedia group.

Graphics Software
Tools for creating or editing visual images
8
Raster images
Made of pixels. Photographs
are usually raster images.
When enlarged too much,
pixels may become visible and
the image can look blurry.
Vector graphics
Built from paths, shapes, and
mathematical descriptions.
Many vector designs can be
resized clearly without losing
sharp edges.
Editing functions
crop, resize, rotate, adjust
brightness, add text, remove
distractions, layer objects, export
to another file format
Practical rule for learners
Use graphics software to communicate a message visually.
Make a working copy before editing.
Check permission, privacy, and readability before sharing.

Web Software
Access, search, communicate, publish, and collaborate online
9
browser search tool website web app communication platform
Access
Browsers open websites and
web applications. They also
handle tabs, bookmarks,
downloads, permissions, and
security warnings.
Search
Search tools help locate
information. Strong results
depend on focused keywords,
source checking, and
comparison across sources.
Communicate
Email, class
platforms, chats, and
forums require
respectful language,
privacy care, and
safe sharing.

Activity: Software Category Map
Classify by purpose, not only by brand name
10
Example Best category clue Typical output
Image editor creates or edits visual images edited photo or graphic
Media player plays audio or video viewed/listened media
Web browser accesses webpages and web apps webpage or online task
Communication platform sends messages or posts message, call, shared file
Learner task: classify at least six examples, then write one responsible-use reminder for each
category.

File Format and Quality Basics
Choose the format that matches the image and purpose
11
JPEG
Often used for photographs
and smaller files. Good when
tiny details are less critical and
transparency is not needed.
PNG
Useful when text, sharp
edges, or transparency matter.
Often clearer for screenshots,
diagrams, and graphic text.
SVG
A vector format when
supported. It can stay clear
when resized because it is
based on paths and shapes.
Quality reminders
Very large files may be hard to store or share.
Enlarging a small raster image can make it blurry.
Aspect ratio should stay consistent unless distortion is intentional.
Always export a final copy without deleting the editable file.

Responsible Media Use
Creative work must also protect people and creators
12
Permission
Use teacher-provided,
self-created, public-
domain, or
appropriately licensed
images.
Consent
Do not post or share
identifiable photos,
voices, or private work
without permission.
Attribution
Acknowledge sources
and creators. Do not
claim another creator’s
work as your own.
Privacy
Remove unnecessary
personal information
from images, filenames,
and final outputs.
Rule of thumb: being able to copy an image online does not automatically
mean you have the right to use or share it.

Reinforced Examples: Which Tool and Rule?
Classify the software and name the responsible-use decision
13
Example 1: school poster image
Tool: graphics software.
Output: edited notice.
Rule: use an authorized image
and keep text readable.
Example 2: short awareness video
Tool: multimedia software.
Output: video with text and audio.
Rule: use approved media and
avoid private information.
Example 3: research summary
Tool: web software.
Output: notes and summary.
Rule: check sources and
acknowledge them.
Transfer: before using any software, ask: What is the purpose? What output will I
make? What responsibility comes with this tool?

Check Your Understanding: Session 1
Choose the best answer, then explain the clue
14
Quick check
1. Which category is mainly used to create or edit visual images? A. browser B. graphics software C. device driver D. operating system
2. A raster image is primarily made of: A. pixels B. folders C. passwords D. hyperlinks
3. Why duplicate a photo before editing? A. remove copyright B. preserve an unchanged original C. hide file D. improve internet
4. Vector graphics use: A. paths and shapes B. audio waves C. passwords D. folders
5. Responsible media use means: A. post any image B. authorized image + source acknowledgment C. copy creator work D. share private info
Answer key: 1-B, 2-A, 3-B, 4-A, 5-B.

SESSION 2
Photo Fun: Basic Image Editing
1
Preserve the original image by using a working copy.
2
Crop, resize, and add readable text for a purpose.
3
Use peer feedback to improve clarity, privacy, and file management.

Photo Fun Workflow
A safe and organized editing sequence
16
open
image
duplicate
working copy
crop
focus
resize
properly
add
readable text
save and
export
Why the order matters
The working copy protects the original from accidental damage.
Cropping before text helps you identify the best focus area.
Resizing must maintain clarity and avoid distortion.
Text should support the message, not cover important details.
Saving and exporting keeps both an editable version and a final version.

Step 1: Preserve the Original
File management is part of responsible software use
17
Original file
The unchanged source image.
Keep this safe so you can
restart, compare, or prove
what was changed.
Working file
The editable copy where you
crop, resize, add text, and
make revisions.
Final export
The version submitted
or displayed. It should
have a clear filename.
Organized filename: Surname_W9_PhotoFun

Step 2: Crop to Improve Focus
Cropping removes unwanted outer areas
18
Before
subject +
distractions
After
clear
subject
Good crop decisions remove distractions, strengthen the main subject, and still
respect the meaning of the original image.

Step 3: Resize Without Distorting
Size changes should match the intended output
19
Dimension
The width and height of an
image. A poster, card, slide, or
webpage may need different
dimensions.
Aspect ratio
The relationship between
width and height. Keep it
locked unless you have a
clear reason.
Resolution
The amount of visual detail.
Enlarging a low-resolution
image may reduce clarity.
too small
may blur
right size
fits task
distorted
looks stretched

Step 4: Add Readable Text
The words should support the image, not compete with it
20
Text quality checklist
Short message: use concise wording, not long paragraphs.
Contrast: text should stand out from the background.
Placement: do not cover faces, details, or important evidence.
Spelling: check every word before exporting.
Audience: choose words appropriate for classmates and school
use.
CLEAN TODAY,
HEALTHY TOMORROW
short • clear • readable
Ask: Can the message be read quickly
from a classroom distance?

Worked Example: School Clean-Up Reminder
Think aloud through the editing decision
21
Original image
A school area is visible, but there
may be distracting edges or
unused space. The message is
not yet obvious.
Edited image
The crop centers the clean area,
the size fits a one-page notice,
and the short text names the
action.
Editing log
Changed: crop, resize, add
text.
Reason: make the reminder
clearer for Grade 8 learners.
Rule: teacher-approved
image only.
Editing is not random decoration. Every change should help the audience understand the purpose.

Peer Quality Check
Feedback should be specific and actionable
22
focus and crop dimensions and aspect ratio text readability spelling and placement
privacy and consent source/copyright filename final export
Feedback frame: One strong feature is ___. One improvement would be ___.
After feedback, revise once before submitting the original, working file, final export, and editing log.

Check Your Understanding: Photo Fun

Answer key: 1-A, 2-B, 3-B, 4-D, 5-A.

24
SESSION 3
Safe Surfer Challenge
1
Use focused search terms to find useful information.
2
Evaluate at least two sources using A-D-P-E-R.
3
Summarize in your own words and follow safe browsing rules.

Search Smarter
A focused query gives better results than a vague search
25
Weak query

Better query
Grade 8 safe browsing
practices
basic photo editing crop

multimedia software
examples
Refine
Add specific keywords. Use
quotation marks for exact
phrases when helpful.
Compare more than one
source.
Search habit: do not accept the first result automatically. Ask whether it directly
answers the question and who published it.

Source Check: A-D-P-E-R
A simple way to ask whether information is credible and useful
26
A Author / organization Who is responsible for the information?
D Date When was it published or updated?
P Purpose Is it meant to inform, sell, persuade, or entertain?
E Evidence What facts, examples, or references support the claim?
R Relevance Does it answer your research question?
A secure connection or attractive design does not prove that every claim on a page is accurate.

From Notes to Your Own Summary
Research means understanding, not copying
27

Good summarizing looks like this
Read the source and identify only the useful facts.
Close or cover the paragraph before writing your own sentence.
Keep the meaning accurate without copying full paragraphs.
Compare important claims with another credible source.
Name the source or organization in your research log or output.

Safe Browsing Practices
Safety is a skill, not an extra step
28
Check the address
look for official or expected sites
Avoid surprise downloads
ask before downloading files or
viewers
Protect privacy
do not share passwords, address,
phone, or private messages
Review permissions
do not grant access unless required
and approved
Report concerns
ask the teacher or trusted adult
when uncertain
Be respectful
communicate without ridicule,
harassment, or false claims
When unsure: stop, do not click, and ask.

Scenario Practice: Safe, Unsafe, or Need More Information?
Choose the safest next action
29
Scenario A
A page asks you to download a
“required viewer” before showing
the article.
Best next action: stop and ask the
teacher before downloading.
Scenario B
A school website posts a current
advisory with official source
details.
Best next action: read carefully
and cite the source if used.
Scenario C
A page has no author, date, or
evidence.
Best next action: verify with
another credible source
before trusting it.
A safe surfer pauses before clicking, downloading, sharing, or trusting.

card? What should they
learn or do?
2. Edited image
What will you crop,
resize, and label? How
does the image support
the message?
3. Summary
What four to six
sentences explain the
researched topic in
your own words?
4. Safety box
What five safe-
browsing or
responsible-sharing
reminders belong on
the card?
Suggested topics: school health, environment, local culture, disaster preparedness, or another teacher-
approved context.

What the Research Card Should Contain
A one-page output can be digital or paper-based
34
TITLE
edited image

at least two sources are acknowledged
no unnecessary personal information
layout is readable and accessible

Source Acknowledgment and Privacy Check
Credit sources and protect people
35
Source acknowledgment
Include source title or organization, author/date
when available, and enough information for the
teacher to identify where the facts came from. Do
not use long copied passages.
Privacy check
Remove passwords, private messages, home
address, phone number, exact location, private
classmate photos, and any detail not needed for
the lesson output.
Before sharing or presenting, ask: Is the information credited? Is the image
authorized? Is anyone’s privacy protected?

How the Final Card Will Be Checked
Use the rubric before submitting
37
Criterion Strong evidence
Image editing crop, resize, and text improve the message
Research accuracy summary is accurate, concise, and based on two sources
Source checking author/date/purpose/evidence/relevance considered
Safe web use five practical safety reminders and no private data
Design clear, readable, accessible, and suited to audience
File management files named, saved, organized, and openable
The rubric values responsible decisions as much as technical editing.

Connection to Week 10
Software installation and updates need the same responsible mindset
38
Before installing
Check source, purpose,
compatibility, permissions,
storage space, and teacher or
school approval.
Before updating
Check whether the update is
official, necessary, safe, and
appropriate for the device and
task.
Before sharing
Check privacy, consent,
copyright, filename, and
audience.
The Week 9 habits — source checking, safe browsing, file management, and responsible
sharing — prepare you for Week 10 software work.
