Student blogging challenge week 3

So it’s the third week of the blogging challenge, and here is my entry for it. So, our first task was to educate others about using non-copyright images. “What do you mean non-copyright?” Well, lots of images you find on google and the rest of the internet are copyrighted. That means you have to get direct permission from the creator\owner, and saying who created the image isn’t enough if you want to use their image(S). So, how can you legally use pictures on the internet? Well, there are several different ways. The first is probably the easiest, just make your own image! That way it belongs to you, and you don’t have to worry about any copyright issues. The second way I don’t really recommend, but you can buy stock photos from places like shutterstock. The third way is to use a Creative Commons or royalty free image. If a image is royalty free or Creative Commons, you can use the image without permission and do what you please with it. You can use google to do this, but there are several websites dedicated to royalty free\creative commons images. My favorite of these websites, and the one I use for my blog, is pixabay. Pixabay is the one I recommend using, but there others if you can’t find what you want on pixabay. The next task of this week is the first thing I mentioned, creating your own image! I decided to create a visual depicting the pros of using Creative Commons/royalty free images:

Our next task was a bit different, we could make a slideshow of some cool Creative Commons or royalty free images we found, or we could use the pictures we found in our next task. I chose the latter, and our next task was also a choice. I decided to make a sentence out of the images I found or created, so let’s see if you can solve it!

Do you think you know what it means? Leave a comment down below, and stay tuned for next weeks challenge.

    Hello Anthony,
    This is a really good post on the subject of non-copyright images. I’ve been sharing this type of information with teacher education students for many years. I personally haven’t tried Pixabay, but I’ll check it out soon. What makes it your favorite site for sharable images?
    I am stumped with your image sentence. I think it says something like “Anthony’s dog sounds like Anthony’s homework?” lol. I guess I’ll have to check in next week to learn what it really means.
    Thanks for sharing. Have fun with the rest of the blogging challenges.

      Hey Dinah! Thanks for taking the time to read and give feedback on my post. I think the main reason I like Pixabay is the image search tool is much more accurate than other image programs I have used. You were also pretty close with the image sentence, I’m going to be posting the answer with my next blogging challenge post, so make sure you stick around for that, it should be out soon!
