Just because it’s easy to grab an image from Google or another site doesn’t mean it’s legal. Other than images that are in the public domain, most pictures are protected by copyright law.

Sheryl A. McCoyinstructions on how to search for school friendly images and various search engines to help you
-
-
Picsearch is another terrific tool for tracking down images.
-
The image-only engine boasts that it has access to more than two billion pictures, which, it claims, are completely kid-friendly.
-
If you work in a school, Pics4Learning is another smart choice. Like Picsearch, Pics4Learning’s photos are student-safe, but more importantly, they’re also copyright-friendly, which means you’re free to use any photos you find.
-
Another fine site to mine is Wikimedia Commons, a database of images, music, and videos that’s available for educational purposes, as long as you attribute their source.
-
If you’re interested in life on Earth—and really, who isn’t?—then you’ll want to beeline to the Encyclopedia of Life.
-
Creative Commons is also currently setting up a portal for teachers and an educational search engine (to learn more, visit learn.creativecommons.org). In the meantime, you can search for Creative Commons–licensed materials on Google, Yahoo!, Flickr, blip.tv, OWL Music Search, and SpinXpress. But since these sites often contain images that aren’t appropriate for kids, we recommend that only librarians and teachers search these sites for pictures—rather than just turning your students loose.
-
Whenever students use online images, it’s important to remind them to cite their sources—and for you to model the same practice.
