Hi Zaynah,
Images dedicated to the public domain can be uploaded to WikiEducator as the public domain declaration falls within the ambit of free cultural works approved content. If for example, you have sourced the clip art from http://www.openclipart.org/ -- you will see that these images are dedicated to the public domain. When uploading the image to wikieducator you should specify the source for your image by copying the full url (these is necessary for auditing purposes to validate the license or public domain declaration.) You should then select the public domain option for an image acquired from the web and it would be a good idea to indicate "Public Domain" in the permissions section. Ethically -- you should not apply any license to the original public domain image -- (because all materials dedicated to the public domain should remain in the public domain. Thanks for asking - -good question.
