Free, Royalty-Free Images

It seems like no matter what topic I'm presenting, teachers are always interested in free images for web sites.  You can search them yourself through a search engine like Google.  Just type "free royalty-free images".d The first "free" indicates that you don't want to pay anything for the images.  The second, "royalty-free", indicates that you don't want to pay a fee for the image each time you use it.  So, by combining the two, you're not paying for the image upfront, nor are you paying a fee each time you use it. No matter what your search generates, you'll want to read each site's Terms of Use.  This is the section that will spell out exactly what you can and can't do with the images.  Here's are a few that rank among my favorites:

The Icon Search Engine contains over 300,000 free icons that you can use and enjoy.  Each icon comes in different sizes as well as different formats.
