Looking for an alternative way to search for images? Tag Galaxy is a site where you can type in a subject, such as "The Revolutionary War", and you'll be directed to a selection of photographs about the Revolutionary war. These are photographs that people have tagged, and many of the photos come with descriptions. This is a great site for visual learning.

this is a very useful site to find images, is there a way for students to copy or use these photos?

I was able to get back to the original Flickr page by clicking on the image (double click?). Once there, I found the ones I looked at to be "all rights reserved."

A plethora of images to be added to presentations or documents--free and legal!

This is a nice way to get a picture or image suitable for a specific topic and not have to worry about copyright infringement.

Greg, I will use this to make my rubrics kid friendly!

This a great site that allows users to create multimedia presentations that include pictures, text, and music.

This is a pretty cool website. It is a nice change from using Microsoft Office all the time. Different is good.

This site has some really neat ideas for new and interesting ways for students to show their knowledge. It is an excellent resource for book report ideas. The site also provides links to other helpful websites. I did find the site a little strange to navigate in that the directions for creating a project are located in one place and then it directs you to another location on the site for pictures or drawings of the process, but overall it is still a good resource.

This is a great place to set up a website for classroom or personal use. Many teachers are now moving toward websites on blogspot. You are able to do so many things on these blogs such as: post pictures, play music, follow others, post documents, etc. These blogs are incredible. I usually get lured into one, then another and another most days/nights and before I know it...an hour has passed. Why not set your blog up today?

Free photo editing, the students love it. You can subscribe and have more options.

It's pretty cool how much this site has to offer for free! You can really make pictures look amazing!

This is way easier to use than Microsoft Paint! That program is a pain to do anything in. This program makes everything seem pretty easy.

A great word puzzle activity page. There are hundreds of rebus puzzles on this site. Students can check to see if they have gotten the correct answer simply by using a pulldown bar. It can helps students use word and picture clues to enhance critical thinking.

This is a website where teachers can share Boardmaker activities. Boardmaker is a software program used by many special education teachers to enhance communication. It provides 4.500 picture communication symbols that can be used to create schedules, communication boards, calendars, bingo games, worksheets and more.

Many special education teachers in the district use Boardmaker software to make picture schedules, social stories, flashcards, etc. This website allows parents and educators a 30 day free trial. If you like what you see, talk to a special educator in your building.

This website has a plethora of games that teachers can customize. You can choose from about 22 different types of games and interactive organizers and input all kinds of information that you want students to be challenged on. The games and organizers are great to use as a review for students as well as having the students create a game as part of a project or assessment. The games and organizers can be saved to a webpage or embedded into a blog or webpage (possibly even Moodle although I haven't tried it yet). One added bonus to this website is that it is free and you don't have to sign in by creating a log in or password!

There are quite a number of valuable tools on this site. There are many different types of graphic organizers and templates. You can also create some games, quizzes, and diagrams. The resources they have can be sorted by either subject or template type. They have one template called Fakebook. You can click on the picture of a famous person and see their "Fakebook." Some of them are very clever and funny. However, I noticed on the Mickey Mantle one that his comment for October 11, 1957 was that he had just lost the World Series to the Milwaukee Brewers. It actually should have said Milwaukee Braves. So I guess you have to be careful that some of the information could be inaccurate.
