It is so important to respect intellectual propert. Wes Fryer strongly recommends using Creative Commons as a way to search for licensed images. It provides educators with materials with flexible permissions; anybody can find out the conditions behind usage.
Another website: wylio.com is the same thing as Creative Commons; I think both could be extremely useful in finding accesible images to incorporate into my future classroom. It is nice having images that I know I am legally able to use.
"PowerPoint Abuse": The negligent use of PowerPoint; when the text-to-image ratio is way unbalanced and in favor of text. Visual presentation tools are not meant (Nor are they effective) to merely restate what the speaker is saying, rather to further understandings. As a teacher, I will take a stand against this unfavorable medium for one that is more purposeful. It's not that PowerPoints are bad- though there are better programs now, like Prezi.
