My Digital Footprint

John Seely Brown

The web has just begun to have an impact on our lives. As fascinated as we are with it today, we’re still seeing it in its early forms… My belief is that not only will the web be as fundamental to society as electrification but that it will be subject to many of the same diffusion and absorption dynamics as that earlier medium.

Free & Creative Commons images for education

Encouraging students to use photos they have taken themselves is always the safest option and encourages the creative element in the individual.  For the times they do need to find an image, here is a list of sources appropriate for education use.

Learning the use of Creative Commons images and copyright limitations, i.e. everything online is not free for the taking, is an essential skill.  It has the potential to save massive heartache for creative students by ensuring they don't dedicate hours of their time to a piece they cannot share publicly because of copyright restictions.

Full descriptions of the links below are on the Free & Creative Commons Images page of this site along with links to the excellent Australian Smartcopying Creative Commons resources site.
