Many of the sources reviewed in this guide may be helpful for gathering images for an educational presentation, for example to add to a powerpoint presentation, or to a written report.  The sources should also guide you to responsibly use images with awareness of use restrictions and how to provide proper attribution.

There are even more search strategies you can use for finding the right image.  Let's say, for example, that you are doing an educational report on populations in the state of Alaska and you would like a graph to  illustrate.  By adding the word "graph" to your search engine search you gather these types of images in one search.  You will need to evaluate to consider if you are finding reputable sources.
