Happy Thursday Evening to you all,
Ironically we just spent a class period learning how to do this in the CMS Library yesterday. How do you cite sources? How do you find an image on google images and properly cite it in a project?
Here is your answer: Photos for Class.
http://www.photosforclass.com/
Understand this program/search engine is limited to the Creative Commons and Flickr. The one problem that we might have is that Flickr was blocked on our network at school (I am at home writing this, and it is working fine). So, it might not work for you at school...but it is awesome!
We are working on Kansas History Projects that include people like Walter P. Chrysler. Search for the Chrysler Building in New York City and here you find a great photo.
It is a little hard to tell, but the bottom area of the photo has the information that tells everyone where the photo is from and that it is part of the Creative Commons.
Depending on your filter and the use of Flickr, this could help with making sure that your students are not just picking random photos from google images.
There it is. Hope this is something that you can use in your classroom.
If you have something to share, please take a moment and fill out the survey below.
