 +======Using Creative Commons ​Licenses====== 
 + 
 +When working in PebblePad, you may wish to use external resources such as images to enhance your project (such as a portfolio). When doing so, it's best to attribute the resource used to the original author to avoid copyright infringement. A Creative Commons license allows you to freely use and distribute copyrighted work with appropriate attribution. 
 + 
 +An example of a CC-licensed attribution is: "​[[https://​www.flickr.com/​photos/​archer10/​3844207513|DGJ_5652 - Brier Island Lighthouse]]"​ by [[https://​www.flickr.com/​photos/​archer10/​|archer10]] is licensed under [[https://​creativecommons.org/​licenses/​by-sa/​2.0/​|CC BY-SA 2.0]] 
 + 
 +This is an ideal attribution because: 
 +  * It contains the title of the work and is linked to the original source 
 +  * It contains the author of the work and is linked to their profile page 
 +  * It contains the appropriate linked license determined by the original author 
 + 
 +===Using The Appropriate License=== 
 +The author of the copyrighted work will often indicate in a link the type of CC license applied to the work. For example, Flickr images will often provide a link underneath the picture It's possible that the work you're attributing may not have a title. In that case, it's best to mention the medium of the work and include a link to the original source. The author may also not have a profile page to link to. However, it's best to link whatever is possible ​for best practice.

 +===Attributing Public Domain Works=== 
 + 
 +===Tips=== 
 +Option in Google Search to search for images with specific license 
 +If a work is marked as public domain, it doesn'​t necessitate attribution. Nevertheless,​ it's good practice to attribute the work to the original author, if only with a link, as it can help avoid future copyright disputes.
