Don't Be An Image Pirate, Matey!
by Joy Leichtfuss
IMAGE HORNSWAGGLING IS A CRIME
WEIGH ANCHOR ON IMAGE PIRACY
Take your own pictures!
Use Creative Commons Pictures
Write The Creator and Ask For Permission
DON'T PLAGIARIZZLE!
Arrrrr! But Who Will Know If I'm A Pirate? And Who Will Care?
You will know. You should care.
Not only that, your students will know. Hold your students to a high standard of digital citizenship and teach them how to use images correctly. Hold yourself to the same high standard of digital citizenship. Once you get your sea legs in the Creative Commons realm, it doesn't take any more time than the Google image search you used to do.
BECAUSE I CARE
