Part of the new Presentation tips series
Since 1994 I have been presenting frequently in competitions, conferences, webinars, and virtual conferences. By the end of this year, I will have created over 50 presentations on PowerPoint and Prezi. I have learned a lot of short cuts and have found some great resources that may be of value for your presentations. I know that not many of us have time to spare in creating amazing presentations or some of us just need some advice. Therefore, I am starting a new series where I will be sharing presentation tips.
Part of education transformation is sharing what works in our teaching and how we help motivate our students. Presenting is part of this sharing of resources. Hopefully, these tips will help you motivate your audiences and help save you time.
Flickr High Resolution Images
One of my favorite resources for Creative Common high resolution images is Flickr. Register for free or through your Yahoo account. This video will help you find Creative Common images for commercial and non-commercial uses.
I often adapt images that are under a Creative Commons 3.0 license, which is the updated version of the 2.0 license. Here are a few ways to quickly find CC 3.0 licensed images to use on Flickr:
- Visit my quotes set to find presentation slides that have the CC attributed and quotes.
- Visit my favorites to see images I have adapted. Please check all the licenses for these change.
- Find several high resolution and beautiful CC images by D Sharon Pruitt.
- Visit Silvia Tolisano’s, @langwitches, Flickr quotes.
- Visit the Creative Commons Free Pictures Flickr group.
- Visit the CC- Creative Commons Flickr group.
- Visit the #ELTPics Creative Commons Flickr account. The images are categorized into sets. Educators upload their images weekly to this account. This project was started by @VictoriaB52.
- Visit these numerous Creative Common groups on Flickr.
- Tip: You can use this motivational poster website to add a quick attribution and text to any of your favorited CC Flickr images.

Great post Shelly! Even for seasoned presenters it is great to get new resources and have the information combined and “presented” in one place. Good luck with the series! Looking forward to the next one!
Perfect timing, Shelly! I’ve got three presentations to finish up this week for JALT, and am thrilled to have some new resources to play with
Thanks!
Just found your blog. These are great tips! I have a whole lot of presentations lined up, these tips will be very handy.
Very useful post, Shelly! Thanks a lot.

Thanks for this great post Shelly. Very useful as I put the finishing touches to my Global Ed presentation!
Fantastic post Shelly, this is one that I will pass on to other educators as they put together presentations.
Another wonderful post Shelly. I`ve create a Simply Box on Free images for educators http://simplybox.com/public/?id=170217 that I use for my presentations.
