Review the previous Websites in order to find visual aids for your speech. Be sure to consider the following tips for using the Internet as a source of visual images.
1 . Be selective. As you edit your visual images always keeping in mind the audience and the purpose of your message.
2 . Use the image to make a point. Make sure the image helps you make your point; you're giving a speech, not just showing pictures. Simply because an image is pretty or even pretty amazing doesn't mean you should use it to support your message.
3. Monitor your time. Surfing the Net can be addictive and before you know it you've lost sight of what you're looking for because you're having a good time.
4. Consider copyright law. For a speech you can use most of the visual images that you find on the Web, but be cautious about using an image that may end up in print. You may need permission to use images if your message will be published.
