Yahoo has introduced a new option for finding Creative Commons licensed images. Now when you search for images using Yahoo’s image search tool, you can select filters to refine results to show only images that are licensed under Creative Commons. The filters allow you to select filters for images that can be used for commercial purposes or images that are licensed for remixing and building upon. The screenshot below shows the filters I selected when searching for images of the Eiffel Tower.

Applications for Education
Yahoo’s Creative Commons image search filter is one of the easiest-to-use Creative Commons search tools that I’ve tried. Yahoo’s search filters make it easy for students to quickly find images that they can use in all kinds of digital presentations.
