Eric Curts compiled a list of free image sites and tools for schools<\/a> that you may find helpful in your search for free images.<\/p>\n

Additionally, you may find an image you want to use, but you would like to make changes to it. You can find free photo and image editing tools<\/a> in this eLearning Industry blog post by Christopher Pappas. Just make sure the image copyright gives you permission to modify the image.<\/p>\n
