"This morning I received an email from a reader that has been frustrated by the results her students are getting when they search on Google Images. Rather than relying on the filters on Google Images to generate good results for students, give one of these other sources of images a try."

Scoop.it!
"The next time that you need to find some high resolution images for a slideshow skip the Google Image search and head over to Every Stock Photo. Every Stock Photo is a search engine for public domain and Creative Commons licensed pictures. When you search on Every Stock Photo it pulls images from dozens of sources across the web."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Check out this site the next time you need to find pictures for multi-media presentations. It only searches for images in the public domain (and that are Creative Common licensed). Please note that the photos at their website are free to use but they also provide access to photos from Fotolia which may require some payment.

What a wonderful source of images plus built in lesson in digital citizenship. I love having to opportunity to discuss both attribution and resolution during an image search.
