Superb images (not from Google)

One of the reasons I'd suggest that you don't turn to Google-is-Evil for your images is that, chances are, they're not going to be that good.

Google has zero interest in the quality of images it steals from other sites; if you want good images, you have to go to a site with a vested interest in providing quality pictures -- a news website, for example.

Here's a good example -- the National Geographic's International Photography Contest. The National Geographic -- now there's a site with an interest in the quality of its images!

Try finding pictures as good on Google...

In terms of quality, they are probably not as good as National Geographic but teachers are able to use these (sometimes with attribution to author) in multimedia projects that may be reproduced.
