This week the Digital Leaders learnt how to use the website Pixabay to source and download images to use in their Christmas cards.
We talked about how important it was that we simply couldn’t use pictures and text from the internet without getting permission from the person who created it. We learnt that there are websites that you can use (like Pixabay) where all the images have had permission granted to be used freely by others.
We made sure that the Safesearch option was selected so that the images we were searching were suitable for children. We looked for Christmas images and downloaded them in to our computer folder to use over the coming weeks.
“I didn’t realise that you couldn’t use things without people’s permission, I used Google images before, I’ll tell my grownup to use Pixabay next time.”
“It’s really easy to use Pixabay and they had lots of pictures to choose from – over 380 pages!”
