[LM_NET] Image sites for elementary students

[Susanne Ford-Croghan <scroghan@FRONTIERNET.NET>]

Hello!

I am using Animoto with a 5th grade class to create booktrailers/bookreports. While 
I was planning, I used creativecommons.org to search for images, using the word 
"elf" (this word was suggested because it related to one of the books the students 
had read). My search came up with plenty of elf pictures, however, some of these 
elves happened to be very well endowed and naked! This leads me to think that I 
need to find a more appropriate site for image searching!

Does anyone have any suggestions as what other sites I can use, or is there a way 
to filter these images? I have spoken to our technology director, and he doesn't 
seem to think there is a way to filter. The kids are very excited about the 
project, but I am concerned about finding appropriate images.

Thanks for your help!
