Picking Your Banner[edit]

Naval War College in Newport. Date not recorded.
  1. Click on the thumbnail view of the banner you might want to use. This will take you to the file's webpage.
  2. Either right click and save the 800px sample image to your computer, or click Full Resolution and save the returned full-sized file. I find the 800px sample adequate. Several of the panoramas in Full Resolution are huge, beyond use.
  3. If you want to find other panorama images, place panorama 800px in the search box, and browse the returned list. Then use Step 2 as wanted. Most files returned will not be militray-related.
  4. If you find a banner you like, or have one you use that's not available on Wikimedia, please identify or send it to me, and I'll place it in the table. It must be in the public domain. Note: All works and images of the Federal Government are in the Public Domain.

Placing in Blackboard[edit]

NWC Enrollment Office, circa 1918
  1. In Course Management select Customization
  2. Under Customization select Teaching Style
  3. In Teaching Style Paragraph 6, Browse My Computer to your saved file
  4. In Teaching Style Paragraph 7, select Submit.

I rotate banners with every Block. As they are skinnier than the others, the Tomcat and World War 2 Memorial banners work very well. If you find a description in error, if you are Wiki-savvy, you can edit it yourself (please use Show Preview if you do to check your work before you Save Page) or you can send the corrections on to me. For instance, it took me a while to recognize what these two operating vehicles are:

USMC Vehicles
# 1 # 2
Assault Amphibious Vehicle
Light Armored Vehicle
