Images

When adding images, you have to be careful about giving credit to the creator of images, unless an image is in the "public domain".

What is a Public Domain image?

  • An image that is not just available to the public, but belongs to the public.
  • It's been donated by the artist or its copyrights have expired or don't apply.
  • The image below was donated by the photographer to the public, no strings attached.

What if I can't find a Public Domain image? Try Creative Commons

  • Creative Commons is an organization that created tools (licenses) for artists, musicians, graphic designers, film-makers,

writers, and photographers to share their work.

  • Why is this important?
    • We can use their work! And we can license our work, and our students can license their work.
