(tip- if you like Prezi, be sure to sign up for an education account.  Free stuff!)

And the ever necessary link round up:

When looking for images, there’s a big difference between websites like www.thinkstockphotos.com and www.morguefile.com

Best practice is to understand copyright, look for media with creative commons licenses, and always give attribution to the author/creator.

If you’re wanting to learn more tips and tricks while a student at OSU, your best bet is the Digital Union. I recommend the location in Prior Hall.

And be sure you’re getting all the software you can while a student, by checking out the Office of the Chief Information Officer IT info for students.
