[CASL-L] Elementary Best Practices: Images

[Allison Loiseau]

Good morning library colleagues,
I am writing again to see if anyone can offer feedback on images.  My
students want to add images to their digital creations.  How do you advise
students to add images?

Google Image Search?
Brittanica Imagequest?
Pics4Learning?
Other?

I am really struggling to find the right tool. I tend to support filtered
Google Image searches within Docs and Slides.  I feel like part of digital
citizenship is building student capacity for selecting appropriate
imagery.
Please let me know what you suggest!

Have a great day,
Allison
