http://www.flickr.com/ has a selection of photos that are creative commons photos.

There are really some striking photos in the collection. When you need just the right image and don’t know where to find it, try FLICKR – Creative Commons images. You can right click on these photos and go to “COPY with url” and the information regarding that photo will be added to wherever you are going to place the photo. This is most helpful to teach students the importance of giving credit where credit is due, even if it is allowed to be used. This picture above was from Everyone’s photos with the description Creative Commons.

With this photo I had a little bit more trouble getting it inserted into my blog. I am not sure why, but am glad it finally worked.

So make use of appropriate photos and be sure to add the appropriate information regarding copyright.

And teach your students to do the same!
