"Lately I’ve begun to think about the fact that when we are teaching with images, we are not just teaching by using the images, or teaching about the images we use. We are teaching students how to handle images responsibly: how to find them, caption them, cite them as sources, understand their associated metadata. And with that comes the fact that we need to be teaching students how to use images responsibly within a world of copyrights and the use of materials created by others."
- Steven Volk in Teaching Students How to Use Images Responsibly
I've been thinking about this as well, as I have too many students ask me to print photos, then when asked where they got them, they say 'Google'. I may need to get on the announcements a few times a month & say 'Google is a search engine, not a source', but if you could help reinforce that, we'll be doing our students and their future professors/employers a big favor.
Most images with Copyright protection can still be used in a classroom setting, but attribution is always good, and students need to understand that these materials aren't fair game just because they're online. The flip side of that is for them to be aware that any images they put online might be taken, modified, and published by others, so they need to be careful about what they share.
So - here is a 5 minute screencast about this topic:

And here's a good source of info about images and Fair Use: http://library.owu.edu/Images/Images_FairUse
Hope this is helpful!
