This is a picture of a fuchsia flower...one of my favorites. I found it using creative commons. This photo was taken on July 25, 2007 in Dornoch, Scotland, GB, using a Canon EOS 350D Digital. It was taken by Foxypar 4/ or John Haslam. I thought it was such a beautiful picture!

Copyright laws are confusing and as an aspiring English teacher, I need to learn the rules. Many teachers use handouts that they find in a book or a website, and the best thing to do is to make sure that you credit the site or the book where you found the information. If you can't get permission from the person who wrote it, at the very least cite them for full credit. It's like writing a paper for class. If that ingenious paper wasn't your original idea or words, tell us where it all came from.
I love using pictures and/or movie clips in any presentation that I create, and I will definitely continue to do that well into my teaching years. I have got to remember that although I was the person to match up the words with the pictures; I would have nothing if it wasn't for the people who took the pictures or wrote the movie. So here's to you accomplished and amateur photographers and movie makers! I promise I'll share the credit.
