Technology in the Education Arena

Doing a project with your students on famous people, social studies, geography?  Want to use some good images in the project?  Check out Google’s new Life Magazine Photos at http://images.google.com/hosted/life.

The site contains millions of photographs from the LIFE magazine’s photo archive, dating all the way back to the 1750s.  Many of the images are available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google.

What I like about this site is the fact that you search images only in the LIFE archive, so you don’t have to worry about inappropriate photos.  You can search in people, places, events, sports, culture, decade,

You can also have the students search in Google (they don’t have to go to the url above) and just add “source:life” to any Google image search.
