PHOTOS
Sticky AI is an app that finds background in a picture and makes it clear (white) for you.
Pixabay- consider finding pictures before a lesson from pixabay and place them in a folder that you have shared with students. This will alleviate the issue of inappropriate pictures and keep students focused on the task at hand.
Also can use this as a safe search: https://pixabay.com/?safesearch
unsplash.com also has creative commons zero photographs, meaning you can use them without citing credit.
Pexels.com is another website for images that you can use and do not have to cite.
Photosforclass.com kid-friendly images with watermarked citations on them when they are downloaded.
CLIPART

Flaticon.com you can use for free, but are required to give create to flaticon.com.
Teachers can use thenounproject.com for free, but you have to create an account. There is a paid version of $20 per year that allows you to change the color of the icons and removes the citation from the icons.
You have permission to use The Noun Project's images in your own projects because they are covered under a Creative Commons Attribution or a Public Domain license. If an attribution is required, the citation is attached to the downloaded image.
