= Copyright Friendly Images = Canadian Copyright law provides you with permission to use images from the Internet for use in the classroom context. As we move to sharing our assignments, lessons and presentations in digital formats we have to be more conscious of Copyright. Many people use images from Google without realizing it is not a repository of images free for use.

Numerous "copyright friendly" resources provide images for use with "Creative Commons" licensing. Flickr is one such image hosting site that has a [|Creative Commons] section.

To search for and locate images within the Creative Commons portion of Flickr to use within your presentation: a) Go to [|http://www.flickr.com] b) Click on the "**Search**" button - __do not__ put key words in the bar. c) Click on "**Advanced Search**" beside the search window on the next screen. d) Type key word(s) in the "search for" tab. Scroll down - you might want to select "only photos". Scroll down and select " Only search within **Creative Commons**-licensed content". If you use any of the Creative Commons images provide reference such as: Image: Flickr CC: name_of_image_owner (it will state Image uploaded by **cobalt123** - this is the individual to whom you give credit)
