[LM_NET] safe searching: images for student work

["Heimer, Noel" <heimern@MADISON.K12.CT.US>]

We have been using flickr and flickrcc, both creative commons sites and students 
are now getting inappropriate images  (for 5&6th grade). Because of this same 
reason we routinely discourage students from googling images.  Anybody out there 
have a subscription or database that helps avoid these issues?
Our student topics are all over the place as you might guess.  
I usually suggest the websites they use for their information, but that isn't 
always sufficient.
I'll post a hit if I get a number of suggestions.
Thanks

"I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. 
They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet 
and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with 
them." ...Michael Moore
