Trying something new....

Hi,

My searches have become much more focused lately, although still quite 'awkward'. For example, just today I was looking for a video and an image for 'Stress and Social Media'. I went through a few different websites, trying to include 'creative commons' in my search, or 'open', or 'oer'. I'm having more success at finding (and being aware of) licensing on the media that I use. For example, the image that I ended up using came from 'Pixabay' and I was so excited that I knew what that website was and that the images were open to be used! 

I learned a lot more tips from today's post and look forward to improving my searches even further - and ultimately saving time and finding 'better' resources.

Thanks for all the tips!

Julie
