We run into this too, our school is PK-6.  For slides and docs, they use google search inside of the documents.  For other projects or when
they need different pictures, they use regular Google Search.  I ask the teachers to use Kiddle as the search engine, but older grades don't normally
do that.
I remind students to cite their sources and at least provide a real link to the photo.  

When students need something "more" I often search through pixabay or creative commons for them and will share it with them.  I mostly do this for
sounds they want to add to projects.

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

Dear librarians,
I am trying to determine best practices for using images at the elementary level.  Our district subscribes to Brittanica Image Quest.  It is easy to use, but it does allow access to some imagery and language that is not ideal for the elementary level.  Do you have recommendations?  Are your teachers simply inserting images from a Google Search?  Do you offer guidelines to your colleagues?  I am finding practices at my school to be a mixed bag and I'd like to offer professional learning to my colleagues to get us all on the same page.  Any help is appreciated.

Enjoy your week.
Sincerely,
Allison
