Whenever I have to use an image online which is not my own, many thoughts go through my head: How should I be using it? How should I be attributing the author? Am I giving the author enough credit?
If we struggle with this onerous, yet necessary task, we can only imagine how our learners must feel!
As part of teaching our learners to be cybersmart, it is important that we are modelling the best practice. After much pondering and reflection over the first part of the summer, I decided to create a poster which I would be able to use in my year 5 class. I needed some way of simplifying the process for the learners to help it become an automatic and painless process. A disadvantage of the attributions provided through commons.wikipedia.org is that they do not include working links to related pages for the photo. This can easily be fixed by adding them in yourself.
The poster which I created demonstrates a simple, step-by-step process, including decisions learners may have to make when using images online:
