Hi Tracy,

I sent my students the following information.  The Creative Commons 
licensing scheme is probably one of the better solutions for students 
to use images in their projects and stay out of copyright nightmares:

1. Creative Commons photos, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

2. What is CC? http://creativecommons.org/about/what-is-cc

3. CC directory, 
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Content_Directories  "The following 
is a list of organizations and projects powered with Creative Commons 
licenses..."

4. Flickr, read "Additional information" on bottom of page, for 
example 'Bremen' (non-commercial, attribution), 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/19939966@N00/2056583185/

5. http://www.compfight.com/ Switch CC on for your search: "Creative 
Commons: Only  +  Seek Original: On  +  Safe Search: On"

I hope this is a good starting point.  I am curious myself to learn 
about other sources where folks share their images freely for free 
and academic use.
