Tineye is a free tool that helps you conduct reverse image searches. In a reverse image search you're searching for the places where an image has been posted online. Conducting a reverse can be a good way for students to discover information about an object or location featured in a picture. As demonstrated above, when the image is located through Tineye students can click through to the source to see how the image was used and what was written about the image. Performing a reverse image search can provide students with a good lesson on digital footprints. Have them conduct a reverse image search for images they have posted online and then count the number of places where that image has appeared.

In this website related to evaluating resources, teachers can find tips/ideas on how to teach students to validate information and sources. Educators can offer this URL to students, and the learners can analyze what is required in authenticating information they find. For instance, the dimensions of critical analysis (relevance, accuracy, bias/perspective, and reliability) are clearly defined and explained. The teacher can then model examples of each dimension for children. Along with this and much more, questions to consider before using a source in your papers, etc. are identified.

This is a fairly simpler resource for evaluating information you uncover. The following is an example of this: the website includes the "5 W's" one should consider when validating a resource. These W's are who? What? When? Where? and why? Since this approach to questioning a source is obviously easier to understand and explain, it could be used for lower level classes to educate the kids on what to do BEFORE they use information or a source.
