Go find your resources [July 20, 2012, 5:39 a.m.]



 

Go find your resources. Gather as many or as few as you need to fully address your question. Make a note of where you find them, and how they can be shared and used (based on the license or copyright status). 

You have two choices for how to conduct your search. You can look in collections and repositories of open content, such as Flickr or OER Commons, or you can search the open web, perhaps using advanced search features to limit your results to websites with open licenses. 

Some good places to find open content are...

Flickr 

Wikipedia

Vimeo

OER Commons

Or, if you want to try exploring a wider range of resources, watch this screencast on how to use Google to search for open content across the whole web.

Share links to the results of your search in the discussion. How could you tell something was open? Was there a symbol? Text? What did the text say? Could you tell what the origins of the work were?
