Finding free images online!

Judy O'Connell has provided a terrific guide to finding free images here.
She says "It’s not just about copyright – its about being practical, and showing students the wonderful world of possibilities beyond Google images or taking anything they find that is not actually in the public domain – a vital point as more students and teachers move into online environments of blogs, wikis and more. Including images with postings enriches the experience for the reader and can also help to illustrate or support the writer’s viewpoint." Thank you Judy!

Creative Commons for Teachers

Here, thanks to Judy O'Connoll, one of our contributors, is a slideshow about Creative Commons providing a framework for a discussion about how educators can model ‘creative integrity’ and how they can assist students to leverage the Creative Commons as content creators. Warns against just using pictures found from the Web using Google, how Creative Commons has allowed creators make their material more easily usable and what we can do. Useful resource. Did you know that the White House site is now covered by a CC licence?
