18 (Excellent) Free Image Sites and Tools for Schools

18 (Excellent) Free Image Sites and Tools for Schools | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

A picture is worth a thousand words, but it might also be worth a thousand dollars if your school gets hit with a copyright violation claim.

This list contains some of my "new" favorites, such as Unspash, with important info provided for each site:

  • license information,
  • whether you need an account or not,
  • whether the site contains adult content
  • plus it provides the media types available, number of pictures available on the site, and a sample photo

 

The only site I'd watch out for would be Google Images-as I rarely use it. Why? Even using Advanced Search, I've seen many images listed as "free to use and share" which are really copyrighted images others have used incorrectly on their web sites.

Images speak louder than words. We all have recourse to images as visual aids in our teaching but the search for such images is not always an easy one. Most often, you spend a decent amount of time looking for pictures only to be disappointed that they are copyrighted . This is where the importance of having a ready made list of public domain image sources comes in handy.
