That is where copyright laws come in.
Copyright laws protect original work from being reused in anyway without permission. This means that any photographs, videos, poems, songs, or anything else that you create are all protected from being used by anyone else.
Thankfully, if you want to check out and reuse other people’s work with their permission, or inversely, if you want to give others the permission to use your work, you can do this through Creative Commons.

This is especially good news for us teachers, as we often use outside sources to enhance our classes. Creative Commons set out to create licences that allow creators to declare how their original work may be used by others. So with permission and proper citation, you can use images, videos, and writing from others.
Proper citation is necessary at all levels of education, which is why teachers have students practice proper copyright etiquette with works cited pages and bibliographies.
