Image Search Engines
Anyone who has used the Internet has probably used a search engine like Google
or Yahoo. Most search engines have an image search feature that lets you search
the Internet for pictures. A student may go to an image search engine, look for a
picture of the Great Wall of China, download the picture, and use imaging
software like Photo Express or Photoshop Elements to paste an image of a fellow
student into the picture of the Great Wall of China. The Google Advanced Image
Search site may be found by going to www.google.com and clicking on Images and
then selecting Advanced Image Search. The URL of the page is:
http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search?hl=en. This page, pictured
below, lets the user refine their search to get the right image. If you are using
downloaded images for print be sure to select medium or large in the file size pull
down menu. Notice that the bottom of the Advanced Image Search window has a
SafeSearch feature. It is wise to select the “Use strict filtering” option to ensure
that the images are appropriate for school projects.
