Open Clip Art<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/openclipart.org\"> http:\/\/openclipart.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You might already be familiar with the clip art options available in Microsoft programmes such as MS Word. Open Clip Art is similar to this and offers an abundant collections of images, illustrations and symbols that can help you illustrate your teaching concepts. A large majority of images are free but note that there are paid options too. It&#8217;s an especially useful resource for teachers\u00a0having\u00a0been\u00a0created specifically with teaching and learning in mind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Google Images<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\">www.google.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you are using a Google document, you can easily use the Google image function.<br \/>\nWithin your Google document, simply:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to <strong>insert <\/strong>within the document toolbar<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>image <\/strong>(the first option in the drop-down box)<\/li>\n<li>Now select <strong>search <\/strong>(the last option in the image pop-up)<\/li>\n<li>Google will then source a variety of different images based on your search<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the example below, we have searched for an orange using Google search within a Google document.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Google-image-search_example.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-471 \" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Google-image-search_example.png\" alt=\"Google image search_example\" width=\"800\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Google-image-search_example.png 886w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Google-image-search_example-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Google-image-search_example-100x57.png 100w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Google-image-search_example-150x86.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Google-image-search_example-200x115.png 200w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Google-image-search_example-450x260.png 450w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Google-image-search_example-600x347.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Creative Commons\u00a0Search<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/search.creativecommons.org\">http:\/\/search.creativecommons.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This website is essentially a front page that links to smaller directories that you can search through, one directory at a time. Type in your criteria and highlight the directory that you would like to search.<\/p>\n<p>You can search under two licences;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>use for creative purposes<\/li>\n<li>modify, adapt and build on<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The site does state only that it only provides &#8216;convenient access to other search services&#8217; and you will need to verify that the image is available for your use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. Flickr<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/creativecommons\">https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/creativecommons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Flickr is by far one of the most popular resources for image searches. It is one of the image directories that is included in the Creative Commons search above and in Comp Fight below, and one of the most prolific\u00a0image directories. You don&#8217;t necessarily need to go through Creative Commons to access Flickr images, you can go directly to Flickr yourself. Type in your search term, go to &#8216;advanced search&#8217; and tick \u2018Only search within Creative Commons licences&#8217; to find images that are copyright free. If you only try one image source from the seven presented here, try Flickr and\u00a0the advanced search for your images.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Flickr_example-CC-search.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-473 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Flickr_example-CC-search.png\" alt=\"Flickr_example CC search\" width=\"591\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Flickr_example-CC-search.png 591w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Flickr_example-CC-search-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Flickr_example-CC-search-100x33.png 100w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Flickr_example-CC-search-150x49.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Flickr_example-CC-search-200x66.png 200w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Flickr_example-CC-search-450x149.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can use the Flickr Attribution bookmarklet \u00a0too to credit the\u00a0author with ease. The post, &#8216;<a title=\"Link to Flickr Attribution Helper post\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/2014\/07\/08\/flickr-attribution-helper-credit-with-a-click\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr Attribution helper: credit with a click<\/a>&#8216;, will take you step-by-step through the process of installing this handy bookmarklet into your toolbar, and using it to credit the creator easily.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5. Comp Fight<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/compfight.com\">http:\/\/compfight.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Comp Fight allows you to search Flickr images and is marketed as an incredibly powerful search tool. The Comp Fight\u00a0<a title=\"Comp Fight FAQ\" href=\"http:\/\/compfight.com\/faq\" target=\"_blank\">FAQ <\/a>explains simply how each of the filter works. Why the resource is called Comp Fight, however, remains a mystery.<\/p>\n<p>Following your search, look to the left hand side tool bar and you will see &#8216;safe&#8217; images that you can use without infringing copyright. Be careful.\u00a0The first two layers of images retrieved\u00a0are ones you have to pay for. Keep scrolling down for the free images.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>6. Wikimedia\u00a0Commons<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Main_Page\">http:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wikimedia Commons offers a large\u00a0source of images. To access those that you can use freely, select &#8216;Creative Commons&#8217; under the licence type. Type in the keyword of the image that you are looking for and then scroll down for the results. Note that the image results can be easily missed as the retrieval page presents\u00a0text first. Your image results lie directly beneath.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>7. Icon Finder<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iconfinder.com\">https:\/\/www.iconfinder.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Use this site to find an icon which you can use for teaching resources such as presentation slides, blogs and Study Direct sites. You can search on the left hand side menu under &#8220;free&#8221; in terms of cost, and also filter according to the type of licence that the image is available under. The example below shows a search for Twitter icons available for free (money-wise) and free under copyright (Creative Commons licence).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-478 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example-1024x566.png\" alt=\"Icon_search_example\" width=\"550\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example-1024x566.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example-100x55.png 100w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example-150x83.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example-200x110.png 200w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example-450x249.png 450w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example-600x332.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example-900x498.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/files\/2014\/08\/Icon_search_example.png 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When using an icon, it is advisable to double-check that you can use it.
