This is what a person should be looking for if a photo has a creative commons license and is wondering what can be done with a photo:
Creative Commons license will have so many uses in classrooms. It will allow me, as a teacher, to use content that has a copyright and allow me to know what is allowed or not allowed to be done with the content. I think it is wonderful that flickr and google both have Creative Commons license areas that people can find legal content to use. I will definitely be using these from now on to find photos, movies, and other content that is legal to use. I will also be sharing this information with my future students so they know what is allowed and what is not. I will expect them to use Creative Commons licensed material in their projects and presentations. I think it is so important for students to know about the ever changing copyright laws now that the web 2.0 is becoming such a large influence in our society! I want to educate my students properly on these issues so they will never have to question if they are using legal content and have the possibility of getting in trouble later on.
