Imagine that!

A couple of weeks ago, I had posted links to a couple of Powerpoints that discussed ways to improve PowerPoint presentations. One of the suggestions that was given involved using images with very little text on slides to convey a message. After all, you are giving a presentation so that your audience can hear what you have to say- not for them to read your slides!
So where can you get pictures from?? There are many different websites to search for them, but my favorite way to find photos is to use Flickr Creative Commons. Other websites that I like to use are Google Images or SXC Stock Photos.
Some things to remember…. Avoid copyright infringement! Always make sure that downloading and using graphics is allowed. When in doubt, contact the author for permission or don’t download at all.
To avoid this hassle, I prefer to use images from the Creative Commons section of Flickr. There are several different types of Creative Commons Licenses and you can read about them on the Creative Commons website.
