Here’s looking at you…

And what does my blog see? Sometimes, it sees some great images that I include in my posts. Sometimes, not so much. As part of the Edublogs Teacher Challenge, Kick Start Activity 5 challenged me to look at how I use images in blog posts.  I have always talked with my students about the need to respect copyright, but I didn’t have much practical guidance to give them.

That is changing.  I just learned how to find, download, upload, at attribute an image from FlickerCC.  (L love how a different search category shows up every time I visit.)  I even added some links (under Fun Stuff on the right side) for students to find it easily.  I also learned how to create and embed a form using Google Docs.  You can see it bright and early tomorrow morning when it publishes as the next post in my series for No Name Calling Week.  Instead of the image in five words, I asked my students to write a six word response to the image since we worked with six word memoirs last semester.   You can click here to find it once it publishes. 

I also wanted to learn how to add a photo gallery rather than just a single image.  I snapped some pictures of my classroom. Can you tell what we are all about?

 

I would love to include book covers in my book review posts, but I’m not sure of how copyright applies in that situation?  Does anyone know the answer:  Can you scan (or download) images of a book cover to include in a book review.  I’ve seen a lot of blogs that do.
