Have just linked the AdEd Interest Blog to my Flickr account which means I can now search for photos and put them on the blog easily just by clicking "Share this" and the Blog it. This image is to tell you that we had training on the Interactive Whiteboard yesterday evening. I've asked someone else to post about the training so I'm just posting an image for now. How clever is that - I've noticed that it automatically attributes the photo and includes a link so you can visit the original on Flickr.

Using Images from the Internet
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.
