8 Unique Places to Find Quality Free Photos
Liam McKay lists 8 sites that provide free photos that don't look like am average stock photo.

FreeImages
There are a number of hybrid sites like FreeImages.com that provide both free and for-purchase photos. With over 300,000 free photos, sites like this can provide interesting images for your student's projects.
Keep A Record!
It is highly recommended that you and your students keep a record of the source every image and media item used in a project.
If there is ever a question, you can show where the item was obtained and that a good faith effort was made to not violate copyright.

Google Images
Google image search can be used in a couple of ways.
If you are unsure if an image is in the public domain, drag and drop the image file onto the Google Image search page. The image will be analyzed and matches are displayed. Go thru the list for matches to stock photography web sites.
You can also use Google to find "free to use" images. Do an image search, then click on the gear icon options button (upper right), select Advanced Search, and scroll down to select the appropriate Usage Rights.

Shutterstock
Stock photos can be a step up from the varying quality of free photos. For around $10 per image (varies by company), you can get a non-exclusive license to use quality images in you and your student's projects.
Shutterstock is an example of this type of site. We've used a number of their images in this web site.
