Some Sources of Images in the Public Domain or Creative Commons:
Google Images - There is a subset of pictures on Google Images which are under Creative Commons. To find them, first use a search term within images.google.com then narrow your search by clicking:
Tools -- Usage Rights -- Creative Commons Licenses
Creative Commons search
Flickr - To find the copyright free images, use a search term to find photos on your subject, then use the drop down menu under “Any License” to choose “creative commons” or “modifications allowed”
PhotosForClass.com (free for educators and students)
Library of Congress Free-To-Use Sets
New York Public Library Digital Collections - must look under the image to determine the usage restrictions
Metropolitan Museum of Art Open Access Collection
PublicDomainPictures - choose the free download option under the photo
WorldImages - for nonprofit, educational use; requires attributionWe use Britannica, but if you need something without a subscription, you can change the settings/licenses in a Google image search so the results are all copyright-free images. Otherwise we use websites like Pixabay. The downside is that some of the images are watermarked.On Thu, Feb 8, 2024 at 8:48 AM Michele Lane <mlane@colchesterct.org> wrote:Canva has a lot of stock images and videos. I'd recommend that software as it is free for students to use and they are continually improving project options.On Thu, Feb 8, 2024 at 8:15 AM Rachel Rice <rarice00@gmail.com> wrote:Good morning,_______________________________________________I am looking for suggestions for options for using images with students. We have less and less open to students to use and are wondering what, if any, databases or websites you may use to support students when using images in their work.The reason it's an issue is because the websites we have historically used with students for images (Flickr, Wikimedia, etc). are no longer available to our students per our IT dept.Any help is appreciated.Rachel RiceBerlin High School
