EduPic Graphical Resource was launched in September 2006 as a source of free images for teachers and their students. Now with over 6000 different photographs and education illustrations, EduPic is used everyday all over the world. All the photographs are taken, and all the drawing and web publishing is done, outside of my day job as an educational professional. The images on EduPic are "free for use by educational professionals and the students they serve without permission." Educational professionals would include those persons employed by a school, public or private, and college or university, (i.e. teachers, media specialists, administrators, etc.) with regular direct contact with students. Students may use the images on EduPic for any educational purpose, even in published and distributed works, such as a student created website or conference poster. Educational use would also include public service education such as might be done by environmental education centers, churches, and other non-profit organizations. If you are not sure, please ask. I enjoy getting emails from people who want to use my images!

Military journalists took many of the photos showcased at Free Military Photos. Others were taken by military servicemen and servicewomen. The site is not affiliated with the military. These great photos are in the public domain. That means you can download them. Use them as wallpaper. Or, use them on your Web site. Just remember to give the photographer credit!

"The basic idea is that teachers and librarians can upload and share all of their lessons by re-creating them (cutting and pasting sometimes) online and then sharing them with the public. It's a bit more time consuming than just uploading your lessons, but that allows all of the lessons to be searchable and organized. I've been using it for awhile now, and while there aren't many library lessons out there now, there are more added every day. As an added bonus, for every 50 lessons you upload and share, you can get a $10 Starbucks gift card!"
