A special note about Google Images:
Your mcps account is set to automatically give you copyright free images if you are logged in on your Chromebook.
If you are using the Chrome browser from any other device,
you must first change the settings! Here's how:
In Google, search for your topic, click on "Images"
and then click on the "Search Tools" button. |
Click on "Usage Rights" from the new menu that opens and check "Labeled for noncommercial reuse."
You have permission to use any of the images that then appear. You still need to give credit to the source of the images. |
