[|Flickr creative commons search]

Reflection:

This artifact is actually a link that I built into a web quest. The link sends the students to the creative commons portion of Flickr so they can locate pictures that have been cleared for public use. By giving students a clear path to locate pictures they really have no excuse to download pictures illegally. Providing students with the correct path to ensure that they do not infringe on copyright law and stressing the importance of adhering to copyright hopefully drives the point home that copyright is important.

In addition to pictures, I always direct students to sites with copyright free music when creating podcasts or videos. Sites such as freeplaymusic.com are great resources for studnets when looking for music.
