A curated list of resources to help students find high-quality, copyright friendly media for use in projects or presentations.
Beth Dichter's insight:
Are you looking for resources that provide "copyright friendly" images, audio and video for your learners? This post, by Richard Byrne, provides six resources. Each one provides access to materials that are in the public domain. * The Moving Image Archive. This is part of the Internet Archive and includes over 1.7 million clips. * The Public Domain Review is a project of the Open Knowledge Foundation and provides access to images, books, films, audio recording and essays. * The Free Music Archive (FMA) provides access to free music. This collection is curated and provides a range of genres. * Sound Gator provides free sound effects. Do you need the sound of a horn honking, or whipped cream coming out of a can? This is a great place to go. * Pixabay and the Morgue File are both great places to search for images. The Morgue File is a collection of photos, and Pixabay provides high-resolution images in the public domain. Byrne provides additional details on each of these six resources in the post.

"This morning I received an email from a reader that has been frustrated by the results her students are getting when they search on Google Images. Rather than relying on the filters on Google Images to generate good results for students, give one of these other sources of images a try."
Beth Dichter's insight:
There are times when searching Google images you scratch your head and wonder how the images shown are relevant to the search term. Richard Byrne has come up with eight alternative sites that you may want to share with your students. Three are listed below with brief explanations, but you will find five additional sites and more information in his post! * Morgue File - This site has 1000s of images as well as lessons on photography imaging and image editing. The images are free for education and commercial use. Make sure to check for attribution for each image as it varies. * Every Stock Photo - This site is a search engine. It searches for images that are in the public domain or Creative Commons licensed pictures. Search results show as images and when you click through you will find all the necessary information: a larger version, a link to the source and attribution information. * Pixabay also provides public domain images (but be aware that the top row of images are from other sources and require payment). You may search by keyboard or spend time browsing. To quickly download create an account. Otherwise you will have to enter a capcha code to download.
