While exploring Flickr, I came across a library of “free to use” photos. This Flickr account is an example of the many online sites where students can find photos to use for projects without having to get copyright permission. For example, here is the link and photo of a river in Africa which can be used by anyone without asking permission.

and, another Africa photo free to use from Flickr.
I think that creative commons and copyright free materials are changing the way that we have to teach about digital citizenship. It isn't enough to tell them what not to do, or how to cite, we need to teach them about the tools that exist for them to use....ok, I'll get off my soapbox :0)
