Professional development site for teaching about digital responsibility

"Luckily, there are resources across the Web that allow you to use multimedia content for free with some simple attribution."

"Browse the images, learn the licensing terms for each one, and download the ones you want along with the CC code to go with it. openphoto.net is a small stock photography gallery started in 1998."

"To become familiar with the far reaching consequences of NOT understanding copyright and fair use."

Now you can search directly in Google Images for Creative Common licensed images. No excuse NOT to use them, now, is there?

A feature on Image Search to help you find images that you can use for free, while respecting the wishes of artists and creators. This feature allows you to restrict your Image Search results to images that have been tagged with licenses like Creative Commons, making it easier to discover images from across the web that you can share, use and even modify.

"There's a lot of misinformation out there about legal rights and responsibilities in the digital era. This is especially disconcerting when it comes to information being shared with youth. Kids and teens are bombarded with messages from a myriad of sources that using new technology is high-risk behavior. Downloading music is compared to stealing a bicycle - even though many downloads are lawful. Making videos using short clips from other sources is treated as probably illegal - even though many such videos are also lawful. This misinformation is harmful, because it discourages kids and teens from following their natural inclination to be innovative and inquisitive. The innovators, artists and voters of tomorrow need to know that copyright law restricts many activities but also permits many others. And they need to know the positive steps they can take to protect themselves in the digital sphere. In short, youth don't need more intimidation - what they need is solid, accurate information."
