Thank you Flikr

In my Social Media class our most recent assignment was to create a video on the Internet about a social issue. In order to make it easier for us our teacher, the lovely Corrine Weisgerber gave us a list of websites that allow you to make videos. She also guided us to Flickr to find photos to use so that we would not have to use original content. As this is a social media class we were encouraged to use the tools that social media has provided. So she showed us how to find photos on flickr that are fair game to use. In other words, they are under the creative commons license. This is an easy alternative that allows users the option of not obtaining a full copyright. It is very easy to find the pictures that fall under this category. Go to www. flickr.com, click search, then click advanced search, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click only search within Creative Commons-licensed content. This will ensure that you are using content fairly. Thanks Flickr for making this assignment so easy!
