Clipart

1. Microsoft Office Online http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX100647101033.aspx?pid=CL100569831033

You can look on this site for hours. It is a great online source for thousands upon thousands of clipart pictures and templates for everything. There is a teacher template section that contains 11 pages of power point templates, calendars, newsletters, contact list, substitute instructions, etc. Even if teaching isn’t your thing, this site has business card and resume templates. The best part is you can download everything for free.

2. Teacher Files.com http://www.teacherfiles.com/index.htm

This is another free clipart site but it is set up a little differently. With Microsoft Office you have to select and download the clipart. In this site you just right click on the clipart you want and either copy and paste or save it to a file. This site also offers a lot of clipart pictures and newsletter templates for teachers.

3. Awesome Clipart for Educators http://www.awesomeclipartforeducators.com/

Awesome Clipart for Educators has their site set up with basic clipart categories to choose from. They give you the directions to download the fonts or images that you want. This site also provides coloring pages for students which can also be found under themed categories for coloring pages. This site gets straight to the point with appropriate clipart you need to develop a more exciting worksheet.

4. Discovery Education http://school.discoveryeducation.com/clipart/

Discovery’s website was created with educators in mind. On their website they have a page dedicated to clipart for teachers. All you have to do is choose the category you want look into for pictures. You can scroll through the images and click on them to see a larger view. Just right click the image to copy and paste it to your files. It is very simple.

5. Gifanimations http://www.gifanimations.com/animation/Index

I chose this site because I know that some teachers like to use animations in their presentations. This site has a lot of animated clipart pictures categorized on the side menu. It is very easy to access and use. When you find the image you want to use just click download and it will download it on the screen and you can save it or copy and paste.
