Copyright issue: If images are used that are not Flickr (password issues slow accessbility or free and public domain (sometimes photos are not specific; i.e. if a local image is needed), is this still okay as ed.voicethread is for education, and with the VTS created by students, as a new creation? I am saying yes based on the following article from a prominent media specialist:

I'm glad that worked. Have fun with it! :)

Lee,
I set the VT to public and turned comment moderation on. Now it works! I did leave the VT off of the search feature, so others couldn't see it unless invited. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Mandy,
I'm thinking you might have the the VT set to private. Check your settings. If you have it set to private, then emailing the link alone doesn't work. You have to "invite" them to the VT. Invite people by adding their email addresses.

OR you an leave it on public, and turn comment moderation on. Then only those with the link can view it. Emailing the link this way will work. Does this help? If not, let me know. We can Skype if you want. I'm teachakidd on Skype.

I have a free ed account, and my students did a great VT as a thank you to the district band/orchestra for performing at our school this week. Since they used full names I wanted to email the link to the VT, but I'm having trouble. When anyone tries to view a VT though a link, without being logged in, it tells them they must log in. This is an issue for parents also, who want to see other VTs. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Do you have suggestions? If I paid the $10 for the teacher account, would this problem go away? I'd appreciate any help! Thank you!
