Finding images which are FREE to use or SHARE
Here are two sites which are very useful for finding free images.
The first is Google Image Search.
Simply go to Google search and select IMAGE. Then type in the search term for the image you want – here I put in BOOKS.
Then go to the right hand side of the screen and click on the COG icon
- The cog in Google means there are more options available to you. In this case select “Advanced search”
- At the bottom of the screen in “Usage Rights” select “Free to use or Share” by clicking on the down arrowhead.
- All your image searches from now on will give you images which are free to use or share.
The second if Flickr’s Compfight
Simply type in the word for the image you want and then check you have selected “Creative commons”
REMEMBER to acknowledge your sources – you need to cite your images using the citation method your teacher asks of you. If you do not know how then ask Mrs Bond. All images you use that are not your own need to have an attribution.
