One of the biggest concerns of plagiarism is cutting and pasting of images into presentations and other kinds of work when the images may not be free to use.
One possibility: Use your own pictures.
Another possibility: Use a free image service like Creative Commons: http://creativecommons.org/
Creative Commons will only show images
that you may use in your work.

FAIR USE: In some cases, you can use part or all of a copyrighted work (images, text, multimedia, etc.). Some examples are: using the work for education; news reporting; using an out of print material; and using only a limited portion of the work. For more information, see
