=** Copyright-free Images for Projects **= Search or brows for free photos or illustrations. High resolution photos are not free. The images will need to be downloaded. GIMP is the suggested free editing software. You must publish the name of the image creator adjacent to where the image is used. Anyone can use these images, but must “provide attribution to the image and a link back to FreeFoto.com.” This is an archive of free clip art. There are absolutely NO restrictions. All the images available have been donated by students, educators, and amateur photographers. You can browse by topic or use the search term box. Very user friendly. There is no need to worry about the content being inappropriate. The pictures are free to use as long as they are not used commercially, but the Web site does have some interesting features. Money can be raised for charity, so some images can be purchased or donations made to the photographer using PayPal. Offers a great selection of free photos. There is also a very detailed page describing how to use images while abiding by the law.

= **Copyright-free Music and Sounds for Projects** = Not only can you download free audio, but you can easily upload your own as well. This Web site is VERY easy to use The content is only free if your school is approved by the Royalty Free Music. The subscription fees are a little high, but the content is good. This Web site has a small selection of audio. What they do have is free and good quality. They also offer images, textures, and flash. Has many free sounds available. There are icons that tell you whether or not the sound is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial license, or if it is public domain. It also has similar sound suggestions. This Web site is very easy to understand. Right in the middle of this page there is a search box for free sound effects. There is also royalty-free music and sound effects, but I would stick to the free sound effects. Otherwise, this Web site gets tricky. All sounds can be used freely as long as they are not used commercially. Sounds are divided by category.
