The Bad News about Online Images
....
Photos available online fall under copyright
unless licensed otherwise.
“Fair Use” is fairly generous in educational
settings but aren’t we preparing students for
beyond school?
Some of us set bad examples.
The Good News . . . .
Almost every time I have
asked to use a
copyrighted photo I have
received permission.
There are literally
millions of photos in the
public domain or licensed
for non-commercial use.
