My colleague Tania Sheko sent me a useful link this week. It was for a tool called ImageCodr. At the moment it only works with Flickr images but it is a great start.
I showed the students how they can find flickr images.There is FlickrCC and FlickrStorm, Compfight and well as the Flickr searching option. (I have posted about how to use all of these previously). We also used Google to find images with CC licences.
Note: You have the option of using the ImageCodr to search for images also.
Once you have found an image in flickr you only need to copy the URL of the image and then insert this into the Get Code page at ImageCodr.
After pasting in the flickr code you hit the Submit Query button and in no time ImageCodr brings up a screen that gives you everything you need to embed the image. You have:
- Information about the Creative Commons Licence attached to the image.
- Options to select the image size you would like to embed and when you have done this.
- A HTML code, that includes all of the attribution details attached to the image, will then be generated.
- Lastly you can see what the image and the attribution will look like.
The code can be copied and inserted into the webspace.It did not work for this blog, wordpress.com does not like the code but it worked beautifully when I wanted to added images to the Shakespeare wiki I have been working on. I am sure that there will be an answer to this but I haven’t investigated it yet.
Even if you can’t paste the HTML code into something easily the information is very useful. The CC licences are very simply and clearly stated to help you understand them. You can then use that information to decide how best you can use it, even if you have to add the image in a more arduous way.
