Most recent monitor are 0.25mm pitch = 100 dpi these days. So it can be
100 dpi if it should apear in same size as originals. Traditionally,
screens are 72 dpi, so I tends to scan at 72 dpi for web.
Make sure to convert them into jpeg files to make image files small.
50KB means 10 second modem download. jpeg compression is lossy
complession and can reduce file size drastically when larger loss are
allowed. GIMP gives easy GUI manupuration of images. imagemagik is CLI
image manupilator.
Good luck ;-)
PS: Just do not scan at 300dpi !
