Google is usually the first place students and teachers turn to when they are looking for images. But there are many other ways to search the web while making the experience a visual one. Many of the searches are for images only. See if any of these interest your students:
Boolify- teaches students proper search techniques
CamFind- visual search engine for Android phones
Compfight- search for photos, either commercial or Creative Commons
Evi- search online or use the mobile app for iPhone or Android
Google Images- choose the size, color, type, usage rights and more
Guided Search (Pinterest) for iPhone and Android
InstaGrok- interactive concept map
MUFIN- (Multi Feature Indexing Network) search 100 million Flickr images
Quintura Kids- simple search for kids
Spezify- search online or with your iPhone
TinEye Reverse Image Search- "finds out where an image came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or if there is a higher resolution version."
