Resizing images for the Brainstormer Quiz app

For those students who want to use their own images in the Who-Is-Quiz app built as part of the Core 2: Brainstormer project, it's best to resize the images before uploading them to App Inventor. Most image processing programs offer the ability to resize or scale an image: one such program is Autodesk Pixlr, which can either be downloaded and installed as a desktop app, or used online as a web app called Pixlr Express - the latter is useful if students do not have install rights on their PCs. For the quiz, a maximum image dimension (height or width) of 240 pixels should work well for most images.

Also, a reminder that the Project Notes for Core 2: Brainstormer (http://unitydcu.ie/ss-c2n) include important information about fixing a crash in the version of the app described in the videos.
