A blogger
• Roni was a writer with a blog.
• She included pictures she found online (visual culture)
• She gave credit to the sources: no plagiarism
• She did not go to a “blog school”
Source: www.roniloren.com
What happened to Roni?
What happened?
• Got a notice to remove the picture from blog
• Photographer wanted monetary compensation
• Copyright infringement/violation
• Lawyers got involved
• She didn’t know about online pictures licenses…but this was no excuse
Online Licenses
© Copyright =protected = more flexible
What can you do?
• Use your own pictures/material
• Check licenses—use Creative Commons material
• Ask for permission (lengthier process)
Lessons learned
• Teachers have to pioneer changes in literacy and lead by example.
• Learning how to use online pictures means using digital literacies.
• Ethical practice
