Google Updates and Simplifies Finding Creative Commons Licensed Images | Free Technology for Teachers

Google Updates and Simplifies Finding Creative Commons Licensed Images | Free Technology for Teachers | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

When looking for public domain and Creative Commons licensed images to use in multimedia projects I generally recommend going to sites like Unsplash, Pixabay, and Photos for Class instead of Google Images (my full list of recommendations is available here). The reason for that recommendation is that in the past Google Images hasn't been terribly clear about image licensing even when the "labeled for re-use" filter has been applied to image search results. Fortunately, Google is taking some steps to change that.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but it might also be worth a thousand dollars if your school gets hit with a copyright violation claim.

This list contains some of my "new" favorites, such as Unspash, with important info provided for each site:

  • license information,
  • whether you need an account or not,
  • whether the site contains adult content
  • plus it provides the media types available, number of pictures available on the site, and a sample photo

 

The only site I'd watch out for would be Google Images-as I rarely use it. Why? Even using Advanced Search, I've seen many images listed as "free to use and share" which are really copyrighted images others have used incorrectly on their web sites.
