Thanks to everybody who has replied to my initial email, some really useful sites have emerged. Just a few replies to some comments that have come up.
The reason I decided to look for some decent free stock image sites is that last week I did a bit of a photography session, which is to lead onto a session on images for the web today. I lent them some of my gear, gave them some pointers and let them take charge of the session. The majority of the images weren't that flash and not really up to doing some basic image manipulation on, so it made sense to get some decent images to work on. I'm thinking of further down the track taking a photography course at the school. As far as unit standards, this isn't a graded course, the students approached me to take more of a tutorial type session once a week as the school is quite small and doesn't have a dedicated I.T tutor. Most of them are able to build a website using something like Dreamweaver or using a template, they want to know more about using things like CSS, AJAX and all those other wizzo acronyms that are so popular these days. Fortunately for my sanity a few of them are interested in learning about web standards and open source technology Regards, Kerry On Tuesday 01 September 2009 8:05:08 am Craig Falconer wrote: > Daniel Hill wrote, On 31/08/09 16:45: > > Also I'm not to familiar with copyright law but I think you're allowed > > to infringe on works of art for educational purposes > > ref http://www.copyright.org.nz/viewInfosheet.php?sheet=29 > > As long as you're not ripping off a copyright image, and claiming its > your own or making money from it, then noone really cares.
