Presenting Content: Sources for pictures and using pictures from the internet

As we have learned in the lesson, pictures should always have a reliable source. Another criterium for selecting pictures from the internet is the knowledge of which pictures a teacher can use due to license of authorship. Therefore I used the very helpful internet site "http://commons.wikimedia.org/" which is an ideal source for authentic pictures that are 100% legal and free. Added to every picture you can find a little description of said pictures. Because I am a passionate fan of Scotland, its landscape and architectures the theme for these pictures is "Scotland, its landscape and its famous structures".
