As our students create more and more digital products—blog posts, videos, podcasts, e-books—they should be using images to enhance them. Images grab an audience’s attention, they can illustrate key concepts, set a certain tone, and present a more complete understanding of the ideas you’re putting out there.

For generations, a picture was worth a thousand words. Now, in the social network age, a picture is worth a few hundred likes, some +1's, a handful of retweets, stumbles, tumbles, pins, and shares of all sorts. Oh, and those original thousand words.

Whether you are building a website, looking for the right photo for your online newspaper or looking for the right sound for your remix, it is important to get permission, and more importantly, the right kind of permission to use media created by others. It does not matter whether you are dealing with a video clip, text, music, photos or computer icons, if you want to make sure your use is lawful, you need to have accessed that material legally.

Most of us are already familiar with websites like Facebook and Flickr but Pinterest is a fairly new kid on the block which is becoming increasingly popular for sharing images online. In education, image sharing websites like Pinterest can be used by staff and students to post and share images as an open educational resource and a tool for teaching and learning. Colleges, for example, are exploring using image sharing for photography students to share their work and obtain peer feedback. However, alongside opportunities there are legal risks. Sharing images on sites like Pinterest, where by default the content is public, has implications - particularly for copyright.
