Hi Everyone

An interesting discussion has been taking place over on the NZ Managed Learning Environment discussion group (software and digital content that supports learning in NZ schools http://groups.google.co.nz/group/mle-reference-group) about searching for CC images.

What are some concerns teachers may have when working with groups of children in web searching exercises?

CC searches within institutional repositories could be very useful in school situations because one can hope that the material is 1. Appropriate for children and 2. Is less likely to throw up images that have been taken without permission from the original owner and offered under CC to the community by someone else.

There are some really useful CC content pockets listed on the internanational Content Directory here http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Content_Directories which you can add to. Mark Treadwell has a good list of online image collections for teachers hereĀ  http://www.teachers.work.co.nz/Online_Image_Libraries.htm

I think cross-institutional searches like DigitalNZ can be great for NZ schools, and they have just updated their search filters so that you are able to find institutional material that is appropriate for remix http://search.digitalnz.org/en/search?commit=Search&facet_limit=5&filter[rights][]=Modify&filter[rights][]=Share&page=1&search_text= This is just in time for "Mix and Mash: the great NZ remix and mashup competition" http://www.mixandmash.org.nz/ which launches on Wednesday night.
