Did you know that if you take an image from an internet search and use it in your school work, you might be stealing?
When using images, songs, and videos, it's important to use media that you have permission to reuse. And then insert an attribution (or credit) like in the photo above. See below for places to find media that is free to reuse.

Creative Commons - Best practices for attribution
You can use CC-licensed materials as long as you follow the license conditions. One condition of all CC licenses is attribution. Here are some good (and not so good) examples of attribution.
If you use images, such as photographs or clipart, in your presentation, you should also credit the source of the image. Do not reproduce images without permission. See the box "Creative Commons and Royalty-Free Images" in this guide to find sources for images that are "public use".
Use the acronym TASL to remember how to attribute images:
T - Title/Description
A - Author or creator
S - Source & date (Name of the website the image is from)
L - License or location (Creative Commons license or URL)
For example...

Title: Satellites See Unprecedented Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Melt
Author: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
