		<title>Google&#8217;s Image Search for Clipart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am surprised about how many teachers are unaware of Google’s image search.  Since I work with primary students, cartoon clipart is fun for them.  Sometimes, photographs are necessary, which are also available.  Either way, there are a variety of images available through Google Images.  One part that can make finding clipart difficult is that copyright images are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lvmyers.wordpress.com&blog=1746213&post=34&subd=lvmyers&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
