Always check what the author says, and use Creative Commons if you don't want your ideas ripped off without permission.

Start your presentation, type a few words and then search for a copyright free creative commons-licensed image to illustrate, add charts or graphs, and select theme, layout, and filters. Share and view on any web-enabled device or embed in your website or blog. Help your students create beautiful presentations on the iPads. Free.

Be aware of copyright issues when using images from the Internet. Thanks to Webhead Rita Zeinstejer for this tip.
