Images for Projects
Description: Explore is Google's new search button that is located at the bottom right corner of any Google Doc or Google Slide (look for the star inside a box). There is no website to visit or extention to add for this to work, just click on it. Essentially it puts a small Google search window inside your Doc or Slide so you don't have to keep switching screens to do research or look for images while you are working on your project. The best part is that all the images found in the Google search using the Explore button are labeled for commercial reuse with modification. That means that students can use them in their projects with minimal restrictions.
Compatible Devices: Chrome browser
Tips: The Explore button only works in Google Docs and Google Slides. Click here to see a tutorial.
