photopin

For a teacher in a rush, copyright can be an irritation. However how would you feel if someone was using your own creative work without acknowledment?   So, if you want to quickly find photos you can use for your learning materials, with a copy and paste copyright acknowledgement, a useful site to find them is photopin.  It searches the Flickr database of images and quickly gives you images and the author credit for your chosen image to copy and paste into your VLE/blog/worksheet. So as an example a search for Baildon ( in West Yorkshire) found me this image, and the text credit (html) to paste below.  It is a Creative Commons licence here. If you want to investigate what this means click on the cc link below.
