Locating Open Images
Sites like Google Images provide access to millions of images posted online, but many are not licensed for reuse or remixing. If you need an image to illustrate your educational material, check out the following sites offering openly licensed stock images.
If you're unsure where a image originated online, use a reverse image search engine like TinyEye Reverse Image Search.
