Creative Commons Search




http://search.creativecommons.org/

Many sites allow one to search for media that have been somehow labeled as freely available for reuse.  This tool brings those services together.  While this service is not a guarantee that image is available for reuse, it does provide a filtering service.

Classroom Idea:  To model the need for conscious thought when reusing someone else's work, send students here for media searches.  I think Flickr,  especially, with the clickable license link, is a great model and teacher of respecting others creative work.
