I have just worked through this tutorial about finding free to use images on the internet. I think this is a really useful resource for tutors teaching IT and demonstrating how to download images as we have a duty to make our learners aware of copyright issues, anyone looking for images to use in documents/handouts/advertising, tutors using Flickr - do learners understand how their images could be used - are they making informed choices?
Personally I found this tutorial really useful and I think parts of it (particularly the images on Google activity) could be used with learners to make the point.

Let me know what you think.

thanks Jane. It's really good to have this information, and to consider the issue properly! I'll certainly give the alternatives a go
