Instructify

I don’t know how we’ve forgotten to mention flickrCC for so long. Any time you see a photo on Instructify that isn’t a screen shot or logo of what we’re reviewing, it probably came from flickrCC.

What is flickrCC, you ask? It’s a search engine combs through free photo-sharing site Flickr for pictures that are shareable under the Creative Commons license. In layman’s terms, it means flickrCC does the legwork in rounding up pictures you can use in class so long as you give credit to the photographer.

What’s that mean for you? You now have a limitless supply of free photographs to use for class projects, clip art, presentations, bulletin boards, and anything else you can come up with. The only limit for most photos is that they can only be used for non-commercial purposes. A few may also require you to get permission before using, but I’d be amazed if they said no to a school. If you want to edit the photo, you’ll have to specify that in your search.

With flickrCC, you can add the power of images to any assignment without having to buy yet another clip art collection. -BILL FERRIS
