If a student had come to be needing images for a presentation, I would have told her to just go to Google.com, click on "images", and then type in what she was looking for. If she asked me how to give the creator credit, I honestly would have told her not to worry about that. That is what I WOULD have done, up until this assignment. I never realized that images should be cited when you use them for projects, presentations, etc. However, it makes sense because it is just like using a quote or summarizing information from a source. Now I would recommend to the student to use Creative Commons. She could easily find pictures on this website. Then I would tell her that she needs to include the name of the picture, the author, the website she found the picture, as well as the rights that the author has. I have found that using Creative Commons, as well as Flickr, it can be difficult to find out the author's exact name, or a name for the image. I would just instruct the student to say that the author is "unknown" or the image is "unnamed".
