"I applaud the teacher who required the students to cite every image used. I much prefer to err on the side of being overly conscious of the ethics and professionalism of citing any and all sources and works used for research and/or presentations. Our students (and staff) do indeed attempt to cite all of the images used for in-class, in-school, or Web-posted projects. It “keeps ‘em honest”, and if nothing else, it reinforces the habit of giving credit to the source. The practice requires little effort if the project and images are digital since a quick copy and paste of the URL may be sufficient. (We have students cite the image like a caption and they do not include the source in the bibliography if the source was only used for an image and not further research.) Here is an example of what I mean:
St. Michael's Episcopal Day School
Carmichael, CA 95608
