Copyright, Creative Commons & Citation
|
I know a teacher once who brought out a famous book with their own name taped on the cover claiming authorship. The students, having studied it before, all immediately cried foul which lead to both a fantastic discussion on intellectual property rights and a mad flurry of children making sure they "licensed" their work appropriately for the rest of the year (elementary).
I use this page fairly regularly to support students in different classes. Simple and to the point with a link to photosforclass.com, a Flickr search engine that crawls for creative commons licensed material then attaches citation automatically to demonstrate for younger learners the what before getting bogged down in the how. I hope you might find it useful. |

When using creative commons (cc) images from Flickr a simple attribution like the one on the right should be evident on the last slides of credits.
If used online the hyperlink can be linked directly to the title or creator. This site explains how to do create a proper citation. THIS site does it for you. (Though not so nice for slides used to make presentations with the text directly on the image.) |
