Google Images Directory

• Have students turn on "Strict Safe Search" in the Google image preferences.
• Search Google's web directory for definitions using the define command.  Example:  define: quiver
• Search Google's image directory using the part of speech and the word.  Example:  verb: quiver
• Consider collecting images in advance as a time-management strategy.  This is particularly helpful if the Google Image Directory is blocked by your school district. Collect more images than what you need, so students will have choices.  Place them in a folder for student access.

 

"Custom Google Search Engine" with copyright-free images suitable for students.
