Educational Clipart
Check these sites for sources of FREE clipart. Be SURE you READ the note on each page describing how you are allowed to use them (see terms of use, copyright/use information, or similar link). Many sites require that you credit their site and link back to it. Note that when they say not to link to their clipart, they don't mean not to link to their site when giving credit. Instead they mean you should download the images and put them on your site instead of linking to the copy of the image that's on their site; if everyone did this, the sites would come to a halt from the excessive traffic.

Welcome to Flickr!
A great source of photos and other images, many of which are licensed under Creative Commons licensing. With careful attention to the type of license, you can find many great images that can be legally used without permission from the owner.

Google Image Search
Even though Google's image search will return lots of cool images, keep in mind that Google just searches the Web for images and displays what it finds. You should NEVER use an image you find this way without first checking out its source (the page Google found it on), the context, who owns the image, and whether or not you have permission to use it. Most of the time, the images are not meant for you to just take and use. Remember just because you CAN right click and copy an image, doesn't mean you SHOULD.
That's why it's best to stick with other sources - ones set up to make collections of images available for use. -
