You can find pictures of anything on the internet, right? Ever think about the people who created them? Most people like to be acknowledged for their work, or at least decide how it's used. Often they will apply some kind of license. Although the rules aren't always as strict for educational as they are for commercial purposes, but it's always good to give credit where credit is due. On this page, you will find information about copyright and suggestions for where to search for images.
