I did put my delicious button on the class blog so that the children could more easily find some images from copyright safe sites (well, I think they are? – might have got them from either your delicious or ewan’s — or both)

It’s still too much bother for them, though. Like your class, they’ve started adding ‘I got this pic from google’ messages.

It’s difficult, because I don’t want them to lose the motivation factor by placing a total ban – and I’m not totally clear about all the creative commons thing myself.

I love your idea of the ‘I’m a wee kid’ fair use attribution idea

I find copyright is one that children struggle with. I us pics4learning.com as a copyright safe source of photos for my class (flickr is blocked) and they children struggle with attribution, some just put ‘I got this picture from pics4learning.com). Using wikipedia images is worse as they often cannot recognise the license when they see it, and there are a variety of licenses.
Some alos seem to have picked me up wrong, ‘I got this picture from google’. Perhaps we need a ‘I am a wee kid’ fair use attribution;-)

If you want to use a You Tube (or other) video in your school but they’re filtered the new version of Real Player 11 allows you to download the video (I do mine at home) then show them in school.

However – is this against copyright?? I’d better check.
