When you find a piciture you want, download it in the size you want, copy the code to give credit, insert the picture where you need it, and then use the html button on your site so you can embed the code. The photo credit line will appear similar to how you see it on this blog post.

Try out Photo Pin and let us know what you think. 

Free Photo Sharing Site

Check out this new free photo sharing site: Ookaboo. It is being promoted for use with students and has lots of photos that you can use for websites, presentations, and other instructional and learning needs. The site appears easy to use, and photos are covered under the Creative Commons License for free use. In trying out the site, I typed in "Connecticut," and got some photos as well as numerous other options to search deeper to find additional photos by topic, interest, town, etc.

The site is relatively new, so once you look into it, be sure to come back and post your response to its usefulness in the educational setting.
