There have been some questions lately about finding appropriate images for classroom use. A Google Image search can lead to some questionable results. Following are some suggested sites for finding plenty of useable images, clip art and photos.
SIRS Discover Pictures: (http://discoverer.prod.sirs.com/discoweb/disco/do/frontpage) This can be accessed through Pioneer Library. Lots of good pictures for elementary use are found here.
eMedia: There are hundreds of still images here as well as videos, all preapproved by UEN. (http://eq.uen.org/emedia/access/search.do?hier.topic=72fb35ab-18e5-2fbe-2439-6cfacaa2782b )
World Book Online: (http://www.worldbookonline.com/kids/Home ) All the articles here will come with beautiful images, that we are able to use.
Morgue Files: (http://www.morguefile.com/) Beautiful pictures that have “died” as far as copy write is concerned. You still may need to watch for content but they are searchable by topic.
KidRex: A child friendly search engine, the images here are filtered to remove questionable content. (http://www.kidrex.org/ )
