Crediting sources: Creative Works

One of the essential skills every 21^st century learner should practice is to respect intellectual property. 

Educators often talk to students about plagiarism and remind them to give credits to information they have used. However,  we often omit teaching  students to give credits to other creative use media without consideration of their copyright. For example, images, music, and videos used in student works miss credits to their creators.

Students mash up media into their presentations thus creating their own works that also
should be copyright protected. Show them how to choose the type of the license on Creative Commons, an open source,  depository of creative works available for others.

Not every image found on the Web is available for reuse.  By default, Google searches everything. However, if you set up Google Images - Search Tools – Usage Rights on Labeled for Reuse, you will limit your searches to specific use rights, including for commercial/non-commercial use, reuse with modification and other options.

Also, there are many collections of copyright fair use images, music, sound effects and videos. Some of them are collected on Free Media Sources ais-sharing site. 

How to credit media:
Add "Credit" field and display it under the media that you upload to your work.
