One of the common concerns we hear from K-12 users of Google Docs is the lack of clip art. This is understandable as most people are used to the large amount of clip art available in Microsoft Office programs.
Well, that may be changing a little bit now. Today I was working in Google Documents (updating a Chrome help guide), when I noticed a new option for inserting something called "Stock photos". Basically if you go to insert an image as usual, you now have five options:
Upload
URL
Google Image Search
Picasa Web Albums
Stock photos

ePub is an internationally recognized standard for sharing "reflowable" content. Essentially, the ePub is a file format that allows the mobile device to read the file and optimize the content within for viewing. This helps level the playing field by giving each student the optimal user experience based on the device they own, without any additional demands on the instructor. ePubs allow for the resizing of text, easy chaptering of long works, inline video and image display with the ability to resize and much more.
Gunn Map 2 is an online application which allows you to create customizable maps with any compatible set of data you have available. GunnMap is free. Images generated with it are under the Creative Commons BY-SA license, making them suitable for use most anywhere including on Wikipedia. Watch Demonstration:
"Pinterest's members are solely responsible for what they pin and repin. They must have explicit permission from the owner to post everything."
What's more, Pinterest places all blame and potential legal fees on its users. It writes:
"You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Cold Brew Labs, its officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to or use of the Site, Application, Services or Site Content, (ii) your Member Content, or (iii) your violation of these Terms."
Basically, if a photographer sues you for pinning an image illegally on Pinterest, the user must not only pay for his or her lawyer, they must also pay for Pinterest's lawyer. In addition, the defendant must pay all charges against him or herself, along with all of Pinterest's charges.
Kirsten likens Pinterest to Napster as an enabler of illegal activity. It wasn't just Napster that went down -- 12 year old girls who downloaded music were sued too.
