I love Google Docs, but this is just wrong. In a seemingly innocent blog post running down new features for back to school, Google now says they let you search for images off the web via your document so you can drop them in. In other words, they're arguably inspiring schoolchildren to liberally steal from hardworking photographers ...
"Fans of Google Image Search will be happy to see that you can also find and insert images into your documents. Again, you just highlight a word or phrase. Then, use Tools>Search... using Image Search. Once you find the right image, you can drag-and-drop that image directly into your document"
There's a simple solution here. Add a Creative Commons filter for re-usable content to any image search activated from Google Docs and teach students how to source them.
