Simple Creative Commons Search
===A search option which will search the Flickr image database just for CC licensed images. The cool thing is that when you find an image you want to use you get an embed code that includes the attribution so if you are embedding image in a document the attribution will automatically generate and be included wit the image. You can also click on the Stamp in image, select size, and when the image is generated you can right click on the image and Save Image As, Copy Image URL or if you are on a FSA Chromebook right click on image and select, Save to Google Drive, so you can embed image into a document or upload to a Web 2.0 tool. ===
