It's important that students learn guidelines for the ethical use of internet resources. This PowerPoint was created as an assignment for a Wilkes course. The images were all from an appropriate creative commons license group in Flickr or used with permission. They were edited online using Picnik. I know it's not just up to English teachers to insist that such guidelines be met. We all need to do our part in our own blogs and wikis and in our classes.
