As you know, copyright rules mean that you cannot put copyright images on your blogs. Most images found on the internet are copyright unless they specifically say they can be used for free. There are a number of places where you can find copyright free or royalty free images. Here are some of them: Getty images (search for royalty free), Behold, Flickr Creative Commons and Stockvault. Check them out. For information on how to upload images once you have found what you want check here. Of course don’t forget you can use your own images and they are copyright to you. Be creative!

Now that we have set up our blogs it’s time to meet other bloggers.  Have a look at students from Snow Lake, Canada, students in the US, students in New Zealand and our very own Year 9 classes at our school Year 9D and Year 9F. As well there are other classes at our school blogging Year 7, Year 11 and Year 10. Some teachers you know have blogs also: Mrs Sanders, Mrs McLeay and Mr Peeler. Check these blogs out and leave some comments if you wish. Remember to include the URL of your blog (the blog address) in the comment form so they can get back to you
