Lesson Five : Finding Images and People on the Internet

Welcome to lesson five. Today we are going to finish the course by turning our attention to finding impages and people on the net.

Finding Images

There are millions of photos, drawings and artwork on the net. Go to the Google website and look up images of polar bears. Enter the phrase "polar bear" and click on image search. If you right click or control click on any image anywhere on the net there is a good chance you can copy the image and use it in your publications. Nothing is safe unless it is encrypted with a watermark.
