To get started, visit: http://www.photosforclass.com/

Enter a search term in the bar and click "Find Photos":

A nice feature with Photos for Class is that it does not require an account to view or download images. It is a simple and easy tool to find appropriate images for educational use. I hope you use Photos for Class as a resource with your students.
