Using images and music in your projects...
Adding images to your research project or presentation can greatly enhance the quality of your work. It can also help your reader better understand what you are trying to say. However, any time you use music or images you have found online, you MUST carefully follow copyright law. Use this page as a guide and a resource for confidently adding media to your projects.
I f I find it online, that means it's okay to use it, right?
Unfortunately, no. The internet does make it very easy to just copy and paste whatever you want into your projects, but copyright law is very important. It helps creators protect their intellectual property. Your ideas and work are valuable too! Some creators will give their work a Creative Commons license. Basically this means they HAVE given permission for you to use their work. Learn more about Creative Commons HERE or watch the video below.
