Advertising, office (http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRxM2VMagoT9XgKTlgcVN9jojTNF_bgbKVMyYCmYuSAA9XtsusI ------ http://tv-junky.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/office1.jpg), childcare (http://www.barcelona-life.com/media/pics/childcare.jpg ------- http://poohbearchildcare.com/uploads//b4edd0fcd0e3d301070ff452d260b785cd592016.jpg), divorce (http://www.clivir.com/public_html/images/uploads/images/idaho3.jpg ------ http://www.county-records.ws/images/divorce_records.gif)
Once you found the pictures you want to describe, you save them in the educanet2 web space - in the folder "Pictures". Re-name the pictures making them begin with your first name, e.g. Markus childcare1.
