=**FINDING IMAGES**= There are many image search engines or websites with images that can be used for educational purposes, for example Google Images or Flickr Explore. However, it is important to develop strategies and get to know tools which will help you decide if the image usage is fair and appropriate. When using an image you need to consider copyright, decide whether you're licensed to use the image with or without modification and always provide a source (in the same way as you reference articles in your essay). A solution can be using pictures from the public domain (Public Domain Pictures) or getting to know Creative Common Licences (Creative Commons Search). Internet for Image Searching from JISC provides extensive information and practice in using images found on the web. =**GLOGSTER - ONLINE POSTER**=
