I don't believe I have ever had any experience in downloading pictures. I have, however, had plenty of experience viewing photos. This is something I have been doing for many years. I would say most of this experience comes from needing pictures for presentations. Google Images is always the place I go for that. Most recently I was retrieving images to put into my camp program. Videos, on the other hand, I have had experience downloading and viewing those. Youtube, of course, is the place I always go to for that. Most of my Youtube trips come from someone telling me I need to watch this video, so I jump online and watch. I have downloaded some videos to use with the kids at church.
I have lots of experience uploading pictures to the Internet. For the most part, all of the pictures I have uplaoded have be done of Facebook. There have been a few times where I'll post some pictures in other things like my teaching portfolio. I suppose my purpose in posting pictures online is to share what's going on in my life with friends and family that aren't always there to share those memories with me. I've never personally posted a video, but I am in some of the videos my friends have posted.

The creation of Creative Commons allows teachers and students access to more photos and videos. It gives a nice middle be complete access of the non-copyrighted stuff and the no access to the copyrighted stuff.
Well done!
