Wouldn't it be nice is there was one site that had all your favorite royalty free images, videos, and music in one place? Well, there is. It's called Makerbook and I am grateful to Nick Cusumano (@edtech4theatre) for giving me a heads up about this on Twitter recently. Here's how it works.
Makerbook is a one-stop shop for all the free multimedia resources you could possibly need for your classroom. Need some images or stock video for your latest green screen project? No problem. Looking for some music for a photo slideshow? Makerbook has you covered. In fact, they have links to all the best sites for free images, video, music, fonts and more.
Everything on Makerbook is handpicked for quality and selection so you can be sure of finding some decent websites to use. What's more, they are promising to update it as new sites become available, and if you find something before they do, you can suggest a site to Makerbook for inclusion in the directory.

As with any use of multimedia resources from the web, it is always good practice to cite the source of the media that you are using. This is a good habit to instill in students with any project they are working on, regardless of how "free" the media is.
So, if you have not tried Makerbook before, it is well worth checking out. I know that it will save a whole lot of room on my bookmarks bar, and it can for you too!
