You Mean I Can't Use That?

Today's tech tip is focused on another great resource for locating images that are not restricted due to copyright.  The site is called Pics4Learning.  What's great about this site is that unlike Creative Commons, it is super kid-friendly so that students can easily search for images, which are organized by subject.  Even better, students can upload their own images and have them posted on the Pics4Learning website.  This would be a rewarding activity for emerging photographers to do and would help them understand copyright and why it is important.  Currently, Mrs. Friedman's students are using this website to locate images for the digital stories that they are creating. As you can see from the picture below, they are clearly enjoying Pics4Learning!

Not only is this a great site for locating images, but it also includes additional teaching gems, such as "Recipes for Success" and hot topics under the "Creative Educators" tab.
