I've posted a few times about sites to help find Creative Commons licensed media, and I have learned that Google has made a Creative Commons image search available since at least July 2009. Knowing so many students already use Google's image search, I think this would be an easy way to introduce them to being responsible users of others' digital property.

The process is simple. Use Google's Advanced Search, either initially or after you have done your image search (that works best for me when I use Chrome). At the bottom of the page you can select from a drop-down list to filter your results by the license of your choice. (Notice that below that you can also indicate a Safe Search level)

If you aren't familiar with Creative Commons licensing and what these different license options allow, the Creative Commons website provides a good explanation.
