Here are some good sites to help you find copyright images for your presentations:
1. Google →Images→Preferences→SafeSearch (try "Advanced Image Search" as well) Too many images is problem, as well as copyright!

2. Flickr.com→CreativeCommons (good site to upload copyright-free images. Always check though!)

3. Picsearch.com (supposedly kid-friendly; can't do Boolean search; try "Image Directory") Very good site!

4. Pics4learning.com (student-safe and copyright-friendly) One of your best sites!

5. Commons.wikimedia.org (can use but must cite source. Remember, it's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to cite references!)
