Project Base Learning: Building a Media Library EDIM 514

I chose to use images under the Creative Common Licensing. Many teachers give projects that require students to incorporate pictures. Most educators teach their students not to plagiarize when copying other authors’ work. However, we do forget to carry that same concept when it comes to downloading, and copying photos from the internet. Most people think it’s only one picture and they are not going to sell it. Having this mind set can cause problems. The five images I chose under the Creative Common licensing were Flickr, Google Images, Animal Photos, Free Large Photos and Dreamstime.

Flickr and Google Images are the well known sites many teachers and students have used for projects. Flickr is stricter than Google Images. I find their pictures to be very limited in the liking but it meets the need. Animal Photos are great for teachers and students to use for science. The pictures are clear and colorful. There was no price tag for using the images but users must read the details. In addition, Free Large Photos are excellent for teachers and students who are doing a social studies project. The pictures are clear and free. However, there is a fee for business use. Lastly, Dreamstime has free sign up but some of their images have price tags if you want high quality resolutions frames. From experience having high RF is needed when creating a movie maker project.
