Free Webpage Backgrounds

In the Web 1 world, before the 'Read and Write' web I did a lot of web design projects with my students. One of the biggest problems we had during this time was finding free webpage backgrounds quickly. The students (and sometimes the teachers doing professional development) would spend ages looking for the 'perfect' webpage background.

This 'inefficient use of time' prompted me to put together this collection of free webpage backgrounds that the participants had to choose from. This collection has saved me heaps of class time as well as time in professional development sessions. Feel free to use any resources that will save you time.

cheers

PS How might you use these in a 'Web 2' world?
