Hello, Ann. Yes, please don't make this one too hard! You only need to find photos on Flickr that are licensed under creative commons to give anyone the right to download and create their own products (for noncommercial use), download them (just a few is fine) and then create an online presentation (i.e. a photo essay using Prezi or Google Docs). The theme of the photos can be about anything you choose. The point of challenge #4 is to learn about creative commons and get some practice with an online presentation tool. Post a link or embed the presentation a blog post.

Does that help?

Yes. When I went to flickr and searched Creative Commons, a group of
free photos came right up and I was able to do the slide show. Thanks.

Ok, maybe it is me. I'm on Flickr - creative commons, selected a theme, and have my google docs open to create my presentation. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get the chosen photos from that site to my slides. What do I need to do?

Thanks,
