The Photo Archives of Life Magazine

"Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google."

These are, of course, copyrighted, but Time said the photos are available for free for personal and research purposes. So, they would be OK to use in an educational multimedia project if you follow the fair use guidelines and credit the source.

Mini-Project/Tutorial Grade Opportunity

The Early Childhood Ed class is looking for someone to design a single-color or 2-color t-shirt design for the preschool program. The name of the preschool is Niagara Preschool Learning Center and they are thinking of have a saying like Playing and Learning...It's What We Do or Learning Through Play. They would also be open to anything else that you might come up with.
