Also <a href="http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/">http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/</a> a free Australian-developed tool that searches Flickr's Creative Commons collection and has tools to let you easily add the appropriate author attribution onto the image. <br>
<br>Whether this gets past your filters I can't tell but teachers and students find it an easy wasy to find and acknowledge Creative Commons images <br><br>Let's remember, CC is about giving authors due credit and we ought to be encouraging students to do so, not just treating it as a way to just get stuff for free.<br>

In this day and age, this is a very uninformed position for a secondary school to take. It reminds me of a school in the Melbourne burbs that insisted that the principal should read every outbound email to check for spelling mistakes. Can you gently enquire what the justification is for this?<br>

<br>
I am after photos that are not copyrighted for projects/websites. Not thumbnails or small images but bigger than 300X300px<br>
Photos of sports,recreation,sports,nature.<br>
Where can I find a site to get these as googling free images gets copyrighted images, and creative commons images is blocked at our school.<br>
