Integrating Websites into the Classroom

Site Title: World Images

This site is for those who are looking for images for education purposes. It provides thousands of pictures covered a range of topics. Browsers can also use the index to easily find the subject area they are looking for, or merely browse through to enjoy. Users can also email contributors to the site for better resolution images for sharing pictures in class... etc. There is also a Tutorials/Tools link on the sidebar that gives glossary definitions for art terms, tutorials, and helpful tools for the user. This website was a little stark. It is supposed to be about images, but I think that it could've been a little more pleasing to look at; especially when one clicks on the categories.

What are two ways the site could be used in the classroom?
This site could be used for finding a picture that the kids want to draw. Kids could find their favorite animal, building, tree... and then leave it up on the screen for drawing class.
This site could also be used for finding pictures to add to a powerpoint presentation on a topic as the images range from people to plants.

This site could be used to extend learning opportunities beyond the classroom by showing the kids examples of photography. If kids were to go on a field trip, they could find something that they like and try to replicate it/use it for inspiration to find something on their own that they want to photograph.
