[CASL-L] Elementary Best Practices: Images

[Jenny Lussier]

Hi Allison - This is so tricky. My colleagues and I talk about this a lot,
and like you would like to do PD for our teachers because we see teachers
using images not always appropriately and not having the students use them
appropriately either.

I do use pics4learning with my students, although since I'm Prek-2, we do a
lot of it together, not individuals. I believe the teachers have them use
images from a google search.

This is a great topic. I'm sorry I don't have great answers for you right
now, but I'll work on it.

Jenny
