Who Owns That Image?

We are learning to find and use images we have permission for.

Who do you think owns the images online?

The images online have a thing called copyright. Have you heard of that before? What do you think it means?

Using images that are copyrighted is stealing. So we need to make sure that we are being smart about how we use images online. There are some images that the author has allowed to be shared in the public domain. This means that anyone can use them. They have the copyright licence 'creative commons'

and are labelled for reuse by anyone.

The best way to get an image that is in the public domain is to use the ‘search the web’ option in Google Drawings or the Explore Tool in Slides and Docs.  

Nb. Explore is available in Drawings, you just have to use the ‘Tools’ drop down menu.

Here are some of the All About Me Profiles we created to practice finding images we could use:
