 * IMAGES **

**North-Eastern Federal University** (Yakutsk, Siberia)

We've all heard the saying that "A picture says more than a thousand words". Images can be a very motivating component of a lesson and generate many different ideas and interpretations. Images, photos, logos... can get students thinking, writing and speaking about them. On the other hand, they can enhance a page by adding color and life to it. BTW, I could say a lot about the photo above, the former Yakutsk State University, where I spent two wonderful weeks on two occasions in the past year.

One the best and simplest search engines for images of any kind is [|Google]. For our educational work, I especially enjoy TagGalaxy not only because of its "planetary" layout, but because it is linked to [|Flickr], a photo management and photo sharing application of great quality.

Let's travel into space and see what we can come up with in [|TagGalaxy] where all you need to do is insert a tag (keyword) and wait for hundreds or thousands of photos to choose from. Drag the mouse to rotate the sun, click once on a photo to enlarge it and a second time to enlarge it further and get a link to Flickr, where you can grab the link or the html code of the ph0to (click the arrow in the "Share This" button above the photo).
