The ultimate guide to finding free, legal images online - 3 views

  •  
    You may not realize it, but if you use Google to find an image and then use it in a project, you're likely breaking the law. Unless you've been given permission to use the image by its creator, then you cannot legally or ethically use it. This would make an excellent lesson for advanced search and copyright for photos used in projects and reports
