Using Images Ethically
Do you need an image for a project? For a poster? For a presentation? The internet has millions of images that come up when you do a search but not all of them can be used legally and ethically, even for a school project. Here are some resources you can use to find images that can be used legally and ethically! Always CITE your images that you use!
An image citation should contain as much of the following as you can find:
Creator's name. Title of the image. Date image was created. Website title, URL.
Example: Bert. Field of flowers. 23 Aug 2022. Flickr, https://www.flickr.com/photos/bertl/1151840575/.
