Briefing
Your first task in this mission is to avoid plagiarism when selecting the right digital images to meet your needs. This quest will guide you through choosing the right digital image, building a citation for that image, and help you learn to use Creative Commons to license digital images.
Images have been manipulated to display on the internet and even to make people believe things that aren't real. See this article for a famous "hoax" photo that was manipulated for political purposes. We want to use digital images in a way that is fun and creative but without plagiarizing or misrepresenting an individual.
Completion of this quest will prepare you to work with digital images in the next Quest, where you will create an online presentation.

Steps:
1. Read the information below to find out what images you are legally allowed to use in your presentations. Some images you like and want to use are protected by copyright laws. It is important for you to respect the work of others, so it is important to choose the right image.
See the examples below for some guidance:
A. You cannot use images with this kind of symbol unless you receive permission from the owner.

See the examples below for some guidance:
A. You cannot use images with this kind of symbol unless you receive permission from the owner.
B. You could also receive a notification that "Images May be Subject to Copyright" if you do a search for images on the internet. This often happens when you use Google to search for an image. In that case, you must assume it is copyright protected unless you are able to visit the website the image came from to see if the owner is granting permission for use. If you do use Google, try going to Google Advanced Image Search and select the correct "usage rights" below the drop down arrow for the kind of image you want to use. The image below shows the permission level you would need to use.
C. Many resources give you options to use digital images if you are willing to pay or ask permission. You may see a Creative Commons license like this:
In this case, you will need to review the permission levels granted by the owner. See Step 5 in "Stop the Pirates" for a review of Creative Commons. In the next quest, you will modify an image and create a Creative Commons license for it.
2. Choose an appropriate digital image from one of the copyright free sites listed below or by using the search method your teacher directs:

What should you do if you come across an inappropriate image (that is, one that would not be appropriate for a general viewing audience on television)?
FIRST, TURN YOUR MONITOR OFF without notifying your neighbor or inviting anyone else to view it! NO ONE else needs to see the image, and it doesn't require a classroom announcement to take care of the problem.
THEN, find your teacher right away and report the image. Teachers will contact the website to let them know that they need to take it down.
After finding an image that interests you, download it and place it in the Quest 1 Template.
3. Find and read the information that describes your image if it is available (sometimes you might need to right click on the image to view "Properties"). You will use this information for your citation in Step 4. Although it might appear different on your site, some common information is pointed out below, including image name, size, and owner:
To learn more about file formats, follow this link. What format is your digital image?
4. Generate a citation for your image. Use this link and the information from step 3 to create your citation. Did it look like the citation that might have been provided with the image?
5. Create a sample Creative Commons license for this image. If you are not able to locate the name of the owner/producer of the image to put in the license, you may submit your name instead. For video tutorials on how to create a Creative Commons license, review "Stop the Pirates " (Q3 in Be Legal and Fair). To help you describe the kind of license you chose in the template, this link to the types of licenses may be helpful, and this vocabulary sheet explains the meaning of the terms. This infographic also does an excellent job of explaining Creative Commons. You will need to do a screenshot of your license at the end to insert it into your document.
