Websites
Use the Website Evaluation Checklist to evaluate these and other websites.
Finding Images
Use Google Advanced Search and select "free to use or share" at the bottom before entering your search terms.
You can also try using PicsForLearning, FreeRangeStock, or PublicDomainPictures.
Make sure you site all your sources properly (including all pictures!) Citation for pictures should go under the picture. It should include the copyright symbol, date of publication, and name of source (ex: © 2013 Reuters). In addition, you must have a website citation indicating where you retrieved the image at the end on the works cited list.
Databases
Worldbook Online – best for general use
ABC Clio – best for historical information and pictures
To access databases at home, log in to Mackin Via with the username and password provided by your librarian. You can email Mrs. Chetty to get the information if you need it.
Presentation Tools
*Be sure to check with your teacher if you choose a new presentation tool to make sure it meets the assignment requirements.
