Here are some SlideShares about Creative Commons and fair use of the resources hosted on this site. I am happy for others to make use of my work, but please respect the conditions in this presentation.

If you are encouraging students to use CC materials in their work, try some of these CC search engines:

Creative Commons Search (
http://search.creativecommons.org/
) – gathers some search engines for information, wikimedia, photos and videos.

For a brilliant Creative Commons image searcher for bloggers, go to Wylio. It finds images, formats them for your post (you can adjust it easily) and then gives youthe embed code – with citations! Brilliant. The image of the neurons posted to the right of this paragraph was sourced through Wylio and links to the original.

FlickrCC (
http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/
) – searches Flickr for photos with a CC license. I love this tool.

Some specific guidelines:

With all resources, please do not save and re-upload them to the public internet – they get edited regularly and I prefer my work online to be the best possible versions. It is OK to save files to host on internal servers, with citation.

Presentations – embed them if you can as they get updated regularly. Please link back to the appropriate content page here on i-Biology. Embed codes are on the Slideshare page for each presentation.

Essential Biology – I no longer use these in class. Feel free to use them as a foundation for resources for your own class, but please do not contact me asking for edits or answer keys. Please do not re-host them on the public internet.
