FREE IMAGES FOR NON COMMERCIAL REUSE

As part of digital citizenship we should be teaching students not to use images that infringe on copyright. Did you know that in Google you can search for images labelled for noncommercial reuse? All you need to do is click on tools and make your selection. See how below.
