This week in class we were given the opportunity to use Flickr
images. Using Flickr images, I can defiantly see how it can help me in terms of
increasing my knowledge of being a digital citizen, being digitally responsible,
and lastly, being digitally literate. In this day and age, it is important to
give credit for other people’s work. One’s creation can also be termed as one’s
copyright and as a digital citizen; one of our responsibility is not to
infringe someone else’s copyright. One common way that an individual may
infringe someone else’s copyright is by adding an image created by someone else
and not giving it the proper credit or even using it without that person’s
permission. Each image in the web may have different restrictions and as a
digital citizen it is important for us to follow the restrictions in order to
avoid infringing any copyright. Some images in the web may not have a copyright
such as images in Flickr images, which allow users to use their images. These
images have permission from the creator to be used. Permissions can be found
usually at the bottom or the side of the image that notes this image can be
shared. Using Flickr, you can easily find the permission at the bottom. Flickr
images is defiantly a great tool that I will use in my future projects as they
have images that are copyright free and I can check the permission section to
make sure I am not infringing anyone’s copyright. Proper understanding of
someone’s copyright and the responsibilities one has in regards to one’s copyright
is one step of many I must take in becoming a strong digital citizen, being
digitally literate, and knowing my digital responsibilities.
