Sally,
I agree about google. And if students are viewing a computer screen, just having students see the richness and variety of images before reading or covering a topic is a good way to build background knowledge and activate schema.  For example, if you are about to read a story within Senegal, you can see photos of people maps, flags, and views of countryside all at one glance. For those that want to get right to it and don't want to use the tab go to http://images.google.com .

  I have found this list extremely useful, and I use many of the  
recommended resources so I don't have much to add.   But I will say,  
that Google Images has been a life saver to me when I have needed a  
picture quickly.   A picture not normally found in the dictionary.
