Google Images

At the TOD a few weeks ago Suzie Vesper made us think about ensuring we have permission to reuse images that we find on the internet. I completely agree with this so I taught my class how to do an advance search to check images are available for re-use.

All was well until we realised how few images are free to re-use. For example, do a standard Google image search on 'Kaimanawa Horses' About 3,410 results. However select the filter for "labelled for re-use"...1 result, which had no horse at all.

We needed images so I said since it was only for a school poster it is ok. But it is not. What do you do?
