Great New Image Search
Hold the fort, here’s a very handy search engine.
Compfight is a super easy way to search Flickr for images. It’s got a very simple interface, it feeds you back loads of clickable thumbnails, allows you to limit to Creative Commons licensed material, and gives you the option of searching full-text or just tags.
With more opportunities to publish student research projects online, it seems to me we should really be pushing the use of CC-licensed images in student work. I’ll definitely be showing this to the students. (and Safe Search is the default. nice.)
