Flickr

Flickr applies Creative Commons licensing to oline photo sharing, offering an alternative to full copyrighted photos/images. You can upload, share, and explore others' photos. In addition, users can add comments and blocks of notes on the photos for others to see. Under their Creative Commons licensing there are four levels of use: "Attribution" allows you to copy, display, and distribute works if credit is given; "Noncommercial" allows you to copy, display, and distribute works for noncommercial use only; "No Derivative Works" allows you to copy, display, and distribute only verbatim works, not derivative works; and "Share Alike" allows you to distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the present governing license. Try Flickr Creative Commons instead of Google Images the next time your students search for photos/images for a project. http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons
