    Looking for an alternative way to search for images? Tag Galaxy is a site where you can type in a subject, such as "The Revolutionary War", and you'll be directed to a selection of photographs about the Revolutionary war. These are photographs that people have tagged, and many of the photos come with descriptions. This is a great site for visual learning.

    I like the way the website uses planets to categorize the pictures. I typed in a few different entries my students have used to search for images, particularly "toads". I' not sure it is the most efficient way to search, but it was fun. Out of curiosity, I entered "union busting" and saw many familiar images from Wisconsin.

    This is truly a really cool website. My students would really like looking for pictures this way. I like how every picture has a description that goes with it. I typed in WWII because that is what we are studying now and there thousands of different pictures (including Lego soldiers :) ). My only concern is making sure that every picture is appropriate for the students.

    this is a very useful site to find images, is there a way for students to copy or use these photos?

    I was able to get back to the original Flickr page by clicking on the image (double click?). Once there, I found the ones I looked at to be "all rights reserved."

    You can do an advanced search on Google images to find public domain and creative commons that students are free to share and reuse.

    I'm actually making a very conscious effort to make sure that our students do understand that not everything on the internet is "free" to be used as they see fit. This can be a very solid tool.

    Great resource for students to find images to help enhance their work.

    Clip art is great for my 6th graders because it is easy for them to search in the different categories as opposed to searching Google images.
