Just discovered, by way of Lifehacker, that Wikipedia has a page of resources for public domain images.  Good to have these resources for student projects, as they sometimes tend to pull images from whatever website they find.  As part of our duty to instruct students in evaluating and utilizing appropriate resources, here’s a good example we can use to instruct students in understanding copyright.  Even within the websites provided on the page, copyrighted images may stil be contained.

Find some images for the research students are doing, both public domain and copyrighted, and use it to instruct students on how to see the difference, where to look to find out, etc.
