Copyright friendly Images and Online Image Editor

After a long time...

I always have many thoughts pondering to keydown into this blog as posts. But, it's just not happening! Finally today I could make it...I think from now, I will be regular to introduce many useful tools which will help to create an interesting online materials / lessons. I will also try to give a list of Apps that will help a teacher in her / his classroom.

In this post I would like to talk about free images, online image editing tool. As part of our daily work, we will be looking for various pictures / images in online. Many people just grab the picture /image that they like and use them in their works.

Usually many of them are copyrighted meaning you can not use them in your works. Some times few copyright holders possess a licence that their work can be used and modified if they are given an attribution. Also, there are images that do not require any attribution and can be used/modified even commercially.

One such source is www.pixabay.com. In this site, we get all types of images ( Photos, Vector, Illustrations) and videos which are copyright-friendly. The site search also displays shutterstock images which are copyright protected. While searching for an image, we may choose a size, image type and colour.

To edit an image, we need not have a complicated software installed in the system, we can edit it online using Pixlr. This is an online photo editing application. Have a hands on experience, will soon post a help file on this editor.

Thats all for now folks...Enjoy!
