Citing Sources
Watch the short video below to install EasyBib on your Chromebook. You will need to cite sources you use for both notes as well as sources of images.
Finding Images that are Free to Use
Here are some links to sites that have images that are free to use. If you find another source of good quality images, tell Mr. Flanagan so it can be added to this list.
Note the following guidelines:
Just because you can copy and paste an image, doesn't mean it's legal to do so.
Copyright laws apply to anything created by someone, even if you don't see the copyright symbol. This includes all the work you create.
Finding images that are free to use does not mean you don't have to cite the source (attribution). Even if it's free, you should tell where you got it from.
Some sites say that no attribution is required. You are expected to cite these sources anyway since we are practicing citing sources.
There are some exemptions to copyright for school projects. However, this only applies if your project is only shared within your class. Once it is put online, the school exemptions do not apply. Even if your project is not going to be put online, we are going to practice following copyright laws as if they were going to be shared with a wider audience.
