I want to add an image to my class presentation (e.g. PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.). What do I need to do?
Answer
Follow these steps:
- Confirm that the presentation is educational and non-commercial.
- Search for an image that is in the public domain or has a license for reuse. Creative Commons Search is a good places to begin. If you find an image, proceed to step 6.
- If you can't find a licensed or public domain image, do a fair use analysis for the image you want to use. (Will the presentation be posted online? That will affect your analysis.)
- If you determine that your use is fair, proceed to step 6.
- If your use is not fair, request permission from the copyright owner. After you receive permission, proceed to step 6.
- Add the image to your presentation. Be sure to include the appropriate credit.
