Picture It

I am always looking for sources of pictures and graphics for presentations, postings, websites etc. I'll bet you are too. Lord knows that straight text PPT slides are abuse on a higher order! And I won't even comment on screen shots of webpages that you are expected to see from the back of the room without so much as a pointer arrow or circle to draw your attention to the place on the slide that the speaker is commenting on! Powerpoint doesn't kill people, people kill people.

Anyway, this posting might help you engage folks in your presentations and training sessions:

10 Places to Find Free Images Online and Make Your Content More Linkable

I'd also add that many of the pictures on Wikipedia are available as well. A Creative Commons search in Google (etc.) finds many useful graphics too.

Most (but not all) of this stuff is in the public domain.
