Use Me! (Copyright Free Images)

You've learned that you cannot just grab any image off the web and use it in your own presentation or wiki! So what ARE you supposed to do?

Here are some sources you can use for copyright free or creative commons licensed images:

• Where Is It?
• Where to Find Copyright Free Images (and Some Clip Art) on the Web
• Copyright Friendly Images and Sound
• Discovery School's Clip Art Gallery
• Wise Gorilla Educational Clip Art
• Clip Art ETC
  

I'll bet you'll be able to find just what you're looking for!

Digital Don'ts!

Be careful where you get your images for your presentations, scavenger hunts, and other assignments! Copyright! Copyright! Copyright!

There are so many great photos of almost anything you are looking for on Flickr. Many can be used in your presentations under a Creative Commons license. (We'll be talking about Creative Commons in an upcoming lesson.)
