Project Description

• This project is for my 5th grade social studies project, where we find online images to add to our understanding of our Unit plan on Jamestown and Pocahontas. These images will strengthen my knowledge of the history of Jamestown, Virginia and Pocahontas.

Process of finding images

• Although I begin using several of the options to begin looking for images, I ultimately used AltaVista Image Finder to find my images. I liked this website because it clearly stated where the image source came from, and I was able to find information for citations and copyright information.

Ease and Effectiveness• I found AltaVista to be extremely easy and effective. The images

show first, then lead you directly to the main source. It clearly stated whether the image was copyrighted, and I was able to not use certain images because of the copyright violations.

• I tried to www.picsearch.com, and didn’t find it useful. I was confused on how to use the options to find images that matched my searches.

• I also tried to use Image Finder (UC Berkeley), however, I struggled finding pictures that were useful for my project. Although that website could be easy to use for other projects, they do seem to have limited options.

• Overall, I was extremely pleased with AltaVista, and would certainly feel prepared to use this website for other searches.

Easybib.com• When creating my “Works Cited” page, I decided

to use www.Easybib.com, as that is the program we teach in my Elementary School for 6th grade CBA work (mainly because it is free.) The program was incredibly easy, filled in the known information, then allowed for me to fill in the rest by looking at the website.

• I also really appreciated that there was a export to word document, and a copy/paste options for me to simply copy and paste my works cited into this PowerPoint presentation.
