Back to School: A few of the many, many sites with free clip art for schools

I've been working on finding more fun goodies for education. Here are a few site with free clip art including stuff from the Discovery channel!

(I'm pretty sure that these are all free but I would be remiss if I didn't say that it's best to check the licenses yourself, as well.)

http://www.star-office.orgStarOffice 8 is a full-featured office suite that contains a word processor, a spreadsheet tool, applications for presentations, databases, math formulas and drawing. It has support for most Microsoft Office formats (except for the formats introduced in Office 2007), but it can also export documents as PDF out of the box. The software normally costs $70, but it's available for free in Google Pack. It's worth noting that StarOffice has a huge installer (more than 140 MB), so you should download it only if you have a fast Internet connection.

It will be interesting to see why Google didn't choose to include OpenOffice.org, the primary difference between StarOffice and OpenOffice.org being that StarOffice includes some proprietary components like clip-art graphics, fonts, templates and tools for Microsoft Office migration.

The next step would probably be the addition of a plug-in that lets you synchronize local documents with Google Docs & Spreadsheets, so you can have the best of the both worlds: edit complicated documents offline, collaborate and store files securely online. For now, StarOffice is integrated with Google Search and Google Desktop.

Hello,

Anyone who writes about the importance of good quality clip art is a friend of mine.

My small company in Central Virginia pioneered the development of electronic graphic arts content (clip art illustrations, design templates, and animations) back in the early 80's when the IBM PC was first announced.

We own one of the largest libraries of vector-based digital artwork in the industry.

What Google failed to tell you in their recent StarOffice announcements is that they are a major contributor to the largest inter-related web of copyright infringement activites ever assembled. The infringement network includes several of the educational web sites you mentioned above.

Well over a month ago, both Teacherfiles and Google received offical notice of the massive copyright infringements found through their web sites and "image search" operations.

Google has done absolutely nothing about it. And the owners of Teacherfiles in Canada won't even return my e-mails.

I think both OpenOffice and StarOffice have terrific market potential. However, if they become a vehicle for trafficking in stolen goods (i.e. clip art and other complementary apps), they will run into huge problems as well.

Since you seem sincere, and appear to influence quite a few of the people we depend on to keep all of this straight (our teachers, adminstrators, and students),I would be happy to spend some time with you and share the resiults of our recent intensive infringement research activities.

I think you will be both surprised, and saddened, by what you learn. But it is the RIGHT thing to do.

Hi Babitha,

The sync thing would be VERY cool. Interesting idea!

Hi George,

Let's hope that everybody in the copyright situation acts honorably. Sorry to hear there are problems.
