Karen’s Mashups

Picking up from our last show on free audio resources, this time we’re going to spotlight free visual resources, including clip art, photos, and video footage. All the resources in this show are covered by a “copyleft” license that allows you and your students to use them free of charge and legally in your projects.

As with all of our shows, please feel free to share this in whatever way you’d like.

The pieces we’ve included come from various sources and have different licenses, so make sure to check the lists below for the specifics. Some of the stock photo sites have their own licenses (I wish everyone would use something more standard like Creative Commons), so make sure to read them to see if they cover your intended use. Whatever the license, it’s always important to attribute your sources.

As with all Internet content, make sure to screen the content before sharing with students. (There’s nothing unfriendly to a general audience in this show.)
