A nice image search engine

Once again my PLN comes through. This time (again) from Michelle Krill who posted this link to her Diigo account and to the CFFCoaches group in Diigo.

This is just a custom search engine in Google, but it's especially nice for teachers and students who are looking for appropriate images to use in projects. It searches in freephotosbank.com, openphoto.net, pdphoto.org, and others. Now, it doesn't display the images like the image search sites do, with the thumbnails, but the links are excellent.

BTW - I love the idea of making your own search engines. Science teachers could create one that searches only the top science journals and blogs. Social studies teachers.... wow... this could be great.

Better yet, have your STUDENTS get together and create one for your class.
