I found my first image of Gettysburg, PA on Pixabay, which I am familiar with because I often use it to find pictures for various things in my classroom. For instance the past few weeks we’ve been learning about The American Civil War in Class so I have been searching for images to help give my students better visuals. However, correctly learning how to cite pictures and fully understanding all of the licenses has proven to be a challenge for me this week.

Despite this, I enjoyed learning and exploring the various tools that can be used to edit a picture. These tools and other websites that have a large variety of pictures can be used in the Library and the Classroom in many different ways. Teachers and librarians can edit the images to help fit whatever lesson or topic is being taught that day, and write directly overtop if necessary. Pixlr was especially helpful in editing my Abraham Lincoln picture. I loved that with both Pixabay and Pixlr I was not asked to enter an email or sign up for anything!
