1 minute weekly web wonder – Week 19

Thank goodness it’s Friday, to help brighten up your day and to help you with your planning at weekends or the long half term Smile, I will be posting a weekly web based idea that will take just 1 minute of your time to read about. If you like what you read then why not try it out in your lessons the following week.

Special thanks to Paul Horrell @Hozmeister who shared this great resource again!

What is it?

“TinEye is a reverse image search engine. You can submit an image to TinEye to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions. TinEye is the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks.” Taken from the Tineye site.

I used it with one of my classes this week at the start of the lesson, students were given one image electronically in which they had to first of all find the original source then read the text and answer some questions which was a slightly more unusual way to start the lesson.

There are probably many other ways you can use this in a creative way.

In the famous words of Gary Barlow ‘it only takes a minute…’

Happy Tin-Eye-ing! Smile
