Finding images is super easy on the internet. Really all you have to do is go to google, type in what you are looking for, and click “images”. The problem though is that reusing these images in presentations or on worksheets often violates copyright laws. Now, there is a way to go to the tools in Google and only search for images based on their allowed usage rights, but that often does not produce the best results in an image search and can lack basic images needed. Classroom Clipart is a tool that has compiled tons of free images, drawings, cartoons, and photos for teachers and students to use in the classroom without having to worry about violating copyright law. Classroom Clipart has a wide array of generic images that help the visual appeal of presentations, but do not require a specific image of a very particular thing, like Granville High School. The images can be easily copied and pasted into presentations while also serving as great place to direct students while discussing copyright and fair use in the classroom.
