Digital Images and Copyright Protocol
***Prior Knowledge***
With the prompt of having to share a way of locating images from the Internet for student use in presentations, I would recommend to the student to try a Google image search. To use the image, copy and paste onto the document. If it is a live page, I would link the photo to the original source, and include the photo, photo name and URL. I would encourage the student to add as much information, and always give as much credit to the artist as possible.

Digital Photography Tools:
Picnic.com
-A great free digital photo editing program online. Using iPhoto, I found I was unable to resize an image on my computer. After many failed attempts trying to re-size the photo for my blog header, a friend recommended Picnic.com. This site is so easy to use, and results in great quality and creative finishes to photos. The sunset on my blog was resized using Picnic, and the header image on my portfolio was edited as well.
Photbucket.com:
-After seeing a slideshow as one of the blog gadget options, I wanted to share some of my favorite photos. I did a Google search for a "how-to create" this, and found one that recommended using Photobucket. I uploaded the photos, and used the feed to share photos on my blog, and recently added to my portfolio.
To My Students:
I will strongly emphasize the need to give source credit, to the greatest capacity. They can either, use their own work, get permission, use a CC licensed work and give as much information as possible or follow the guidelines according to fair use. I found this week's discussion to be difficult to understand, scary and am still unclear. I would like to find some additional information, that could explain this to children, and made the requirements more clear. Besides the fear of a lawsuit, I would recommend that the student, get creative with their technology use, but to proceed with caution and cite the sources as much as possible.

The Lifecycle of a Frog- Digital Story
This story was created to use as an example for students. After completing a lifecycle Inquiry, I would have students use their notes, drawing, photographs, and research to create a Digital Story of their study. I found this program to be very straightforward and easy to use. CreativeCommons.org was a great tool to use for locating images, and I have it bookmarked for future use.
I can see application for all subjects, and is a great way to integrate music and art in your classroom. For Social Studies, I created a digital story of a field trip to the Michigan Historical Society. For math, I can see if used to show the steps, and different methods of solving a problem. The story I created was intended for science, but I can also see it used to show step by step instructions, or for presenting a digital lab report. For Language Arts, students could create stories, alternate endings, similar themes, class stories, class collections of works, etc.
