"The Internet has made a myriad of material readily available to a vast audience. Along with these seemingly infinite resources has come a lot of confusion about how images and other content published online should be legally recognized, protected or used. As educators, we often struggle in navigating that road."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Our students often go to Google or Bing to find images for their work...but they do not always know how to find images that are open source. This post provides many resources that you might use with students, as well as a story about what may happen if a student uses an image that is under copyright.
