Where Can Students Find Great Images for Projects?
It's important that we teach our students to be ethical digital citizens, and with that comes some boundaries. For example, it's really easy to just take any picture we find in Google Images, but should we?
Many of us teach our students to filter Google Image searches by "Licensed for Reuse with Modification." But did you know that there are some other sites that offer high-quality photos? Check out:

Even better, have students take their own pictures--it'll add even more challenge and authenticity to their work.
