Jana,
I understand your frustration in the search for copyright free material. This has been a continuing discussion with colleagues. Here are some resources that have been offered to me:

Scroll down the page until you find the sections titled: "Free Sound, Music and Graphic Resources"

Several tech people in my district also offered membership sites for stock material. I have not registered for any of these sites myself, however it is another option. Hope this helps.

Wk1 Reading Copyright
The copyright videos were interesting and a little overwhelming. I was totally oblivious to the depth of the piracy on media. The film “Good Copy/Bad Copy” opened my eyes to the extent of the piracy not only on music but on the motion picture industry as well. I have always wondered about those advertisements at the beginning of DVD’s about piracy being against the law. I guess I thought it was geared more towards big time offenders than just everyday people.
The top ten copyright myths by Brad Templeton were also very fascinating. Several have been discussed in depth at my school. (“If you don’t charge for it, it’s not a violation”)
This program at Full Sail has certainly heightened my awareness of copyright issues. I have on numerous occasions searched for copyright free images and have been disappointed when I open the image. Most images appear with the statement “This image may be subject to copyright”.
What does that really mean? Where can I find material?
As I am immersed into the legal and illegal aspects of copyrighting this month, I hope to gain the necessary information to better educate my students.
We must prepare our students for success in the future by urging them to create original work and educating them on the laws of copyrighting.
