OF COURSE!
One might think that images on the world wide web are free for use on social media, presentations, blogs, and much more, but think again! Just like music and movies, images belong to someone, somewhere in the world. It can be difficult to understand the many creative commons licenses, so teachers and librarians should check this link out.

Copyright and fair use information is great as well, so videos, books, and even blogs on the issue should be viewed by teachers, librarians, and even students! So many different media presentations are used in school these days: powerpoints, movies, online posters, websites, blogs. We have to be careful which images we are using since we do not know where they originated so I suggest (and this information comes from a very informative professor) using google images to search for licenses pictures an images. There is a button that allows one to search using usage rights so it makes it a lot easier!
Check out this example on this great dystopian read of the week. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a great YA book that appeals to adults as well. Set in a dystopian setting, young teenagers must fight for their lives to become the only victor. With death, destruction, action, and love, this great read is one that you must add your list.
