What are the best, most accessible copyright-free or Creative Commons educational copyright-use sources for students to access images to use in digital book talks or podcasts?

I just got a snowball camera from my students (hurray!) and wonder if anyone has instructions and/or lessons for podcasting w/Garage Band and/or Audacity that would be appropriate for 4th graders. Thank you.

Dear colleagues,

We are working on a project on how we can utilize Web 2.0, not only Social networking, in foreign language teaching. Your contributions, suggestions, and ideas are highly appreciated. I will keep you informed about the progress. Please let me know if you are interested.

Kind regards.

Is it okay to use Audacity to read books that students can listen to and follow along with. I am not sure about the copyright usage of such things. Since it is for educational purposes, isn't this ok? Also, if you are doing it for students with disabilities, it seems that it would fall under ADA or something by making it accessible to students with disabilities.
Of course it won't matter if I can't even get the program to work. It seems to be recording, but I can't get it to play so I have no idea if it's not recording or just not playing!!

A request to all you audio/web gurus..
I want to make a track from my playlist in my Classroom 2.0 page play when the page opens. How do I do that. I notice a few members have done that. Do I alter the embed code?
Any help there would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Gavin

Can anyone assist in understanding the ramifications, ethics, and legal issues of having students convert textbooks into audio podcasts to assist their classmates in comprehension of text material? Any copyright issues to consider?

Haas anyone played with Talkshoe as a podcasting host? You can host live call in conversations or use it to post Mp3's for FREE.

I have been using it recently. I am able to quickly upload my episodes and can even embed the player in my blog or other web sites.

Hello all - Anyone have thoughts on the iTalk Pro vs Belkin add-on microphones for the iPod? Quality? Features?
