Students will not always be able to take their own photographs, depending on the project they are creating; no doubt they will turn to the web. Most of the photographs and graphics found on the web are protected by copyright laws. I have listed some photograph and graphic sites that have royalty-free stock photographs and graphics that can be used for non-commercial use. Please remember these graphics cannot be used to make money. You may want to read the information at each site to see what restrictions are posted. I have also posted some links to copyright information on this page.
