Fresh Look Fridays - Pics4Learning - (18-06-2010)

Author:  Vanessa Cassie

 

Today's Fresh Look Fridays post is a bit of a stray from my usual focus.  Normally, I dedicate my Friday posts to exploring websites that might have some sort of educational value and work really well as a student-centered activity at a SMART Board.  However, since this is my blog and I can do what I want, I'm changing the rules today...

Instead, I've decided to share a website that will support the teacher side of things. Pics4Learning is [and I quote from their front page]:

"a copyright-friendly image library for teachers and students. The Pics4Learning collection consists

of thousands of images that have been donated by students, teachers, and amateur photographers.

Unlike many Internet sites, permission has been granted for teachers and students

to use all of the images donated to the Pics4Learning collection."

Fantastic! In today's age of digital copyright nightmares (I can't tell you how many copyright stories I have from the education world), it's always nice to find a site that openly gives you peace of mind.  If you haven't yet made your way over to this site, I highly recommend that you take some time to explore it!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Vanessa

Very useful! It can be hard to navigate through all of the copyright issues, it is nice to have a site that has done all of the hunting for us!

A classroom educator for 10 years, I’m now thrilled to be working full time training teachers and helping them integrate technology into their classrooms.

Originally from Calgary, I’m thrilled to be living and working in British Columbia and starting to get to know the fabulous educators in my new province.

I fully confess that I am a tech-geek, and thus always brought technology into the classroom with my students. As soon as I got my hands on my first SMART product – I was a convert – and never taught without one again! I was fortunate to be part of several technical trials with SMART – including the SMART Table, which I enjoyed using primarily with my Grade One students.

I spent some time as an Education Technology Consultant and developed my passion for bringing technology into the hands of kids & helping teachers to maximize the tech tools within their schools.

I also love sports, movies and am a classically trained singer.
