Relevance: Preparation for [insert lecture/topic and/or date here]. Attendance is not required but you won't want to miss this dynamic experience!
Goal: Finding images (moving or still) related to "insert topic here"
Exercise prep: You may want to view if you're not already familiar.
- Choose from one of the search tools below.
- Find a compelling image (moving or still) as it relates to "insert topic here." It might be positive (i.e. insert example) or negative (i.e. insert example). I use all these terms very loosely.
Post to the group:
- A link to the image (sometimes called a "permalink").
- Briefly describe what thoughts/feelings this image(s) evokes in you.
- Optional: Respond to another student's post(s)
Search tool options:
Films on Demand - a library database for educational videos (URL provided at the bottom of each selection)
YouTube - open, free web
Or do a Google search for: "free image databases" and you'll see lots of options. For instance, I searched The New York Public Library's image collection and found [insert images and description here]. (You can use Google Images but why not try something different?)
Hint: Your keyword terms might include "insert keyword here" or "insert keyword here" or composting (positive) or consumerism or shopping or landfill or "garbage dump" (negative).
For your future perusal: The UMass Libraries subscribes to various image databases (the interfaces of which did not lend themselves well for this exercise).
