I read somewhere that every blog post should include a relevant image. The intent is to provide an element that increases interest. I also know that unnecessary images can generate a distraction that can tax working memory. With blog posts, I go with trying to include at least one image.
The Noun Project is the source of most of the line art you find in my blog posts. You can use individual images with attribution. I pay $20 a year as an educator to include images without having to add attribution.
This is a newer resource for me and it has a far smaller collection than the Noun Project. It is a free resource useful in the classroom.
The North Dakota Clipart collection is the result of a personal collaboration with North Dakota Game and Fish many years ago. The original collection was sold on disks for classroom use. Eventually, I added the image collection to my server for open access. I am not the artist, but from the beginning I was responsible for digitizing and sharing the images. This collection is only available as GIFs so there are limitations when enlarging the size of the images.
