You know the saying, so I won't mention it here. But it's true. Using pictures will make your blog posts more informative and interesting. The best pictures are ones you take that highlight what's happening in your classroom or school. 

However, there are time when you want to use a stock photo. If so, remember to try to abide by copyright guidelines. Here are some links to some good resources for finding copyright free images:

Or you can use Google's Advanced Search options to narrow down sites that offer copyright free images. Just do a search, then click on the little gear on the search page. Lots of great parameters to adjust your search results.
