images. Once you put a word or topic in, you can then search “inside”
by putting in .gov to pick up all images that are government (and thus mostly
free of copyright). You always need to verify and check, but many
government images are in fact available for free public use.</span></font></p>

and able to used in health education is a barrier for those of us who
would like to include illustrations and artwork, but who can't see to find
pictures that depict our points. If there were free available visual (clip art)
on the internet we could easily download and use these visuals more extensively.</span></font></p>

Wednesday Question: Visuals in Health Ed.</span></font></p>
</div>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Hi
Everyone,<br>
<br>
It's time for Wednesday's question, and I want to prepare for next<br>
week's discussion by getting us thinking about the use of pictures and<br>
visuals in passing on health information. Whether it is during a<br>
clinical appointment, or more formalized health education setting, there<br>
are lots of ways to present health information. What do you see as the<br>
biggest problem in getting health educators to use more visuals in their<br>
instructions?<br>
<br>
Think about your own experience and let us know what you think. Send a<br>
brief answer this week, and we'll discuss it further with our guest<br>
speakers next week.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Julie<br>
<br>
