Chance 2 – Images in blog posts
As both Kris and Hayden mentioned it is important to put images in a blog post. But most of our students go to google images without realising they could get in trouble for breaking copyright. Or they see an image in an online newspaper and think they can use that in their blog post without realising the newspaper has probably had to pay a photographer for their image.
So where can students get images that are not copyright?
They can use creative commons images from many sites on the web. Some of these might be filtered at your school but surely one might be useful. Try out some of these links to help you with images.
flickrcc this site also shows attribution
photobucket couldn’t easily see if these were creative commons or not
Pics4learning all free images sent in by teachers, students and friends, includes lessons to use
Sue Waters from the Edublogger has written many posts about images using flickr, width of images, inserting images into posts etc .
I have tagged some great pages in my delicious account with images such as behold, a ning about exploring images in the 21st century and a tutorial about copyright cleared images .
