How to Find Resources Online
Finding content for use in the classroom or lecture theatre can be as easy as a web search. However, it is crucial that you use the wealth of already **openly licensed content stores** available online. There is no need to grab images from a google image search when you can use content which has been openly licensed.

Browse to compfight  and find an image in your domain using the keyword search. Then post a blog or forum post about your experience finding and appropriating the image. Include the image in your blog post by linking to it. Make sure to reference the original creator of the file. Take note of any copyright included on the image page. Keep this in mind as we go forward.

You can browse content specific directories according to the media you need:
