Choose FLICKR tab to reveal great images. Do not choose Google tab – it takes you down a
very bad path.

Make sure you notice where you found your images. You will need to put these on the last
page as a credits page (works cited).
To add photos, click on the left side of the screen – ADD PHOTOS.

With upload, find your image that you just saved from Creativecommons.

(When you add photo, it does give you an option for Yahoo. You can use this as your search
tool to grab photos as well. Just remember where you found your photos.)

Continue adding Photos and Text to complete your book.

Don’t forget to SAVE. (It SHOULD automatically save, but it never hurts to click the SAVE
option when you make changes.)
