Image Swirl
Google Image Swirl is another service from the Google Labs that organizes image search results based on their visual and semantic similarities and then clusters them into related "swirls." It uses metadata and is similar to Bing's VisualSearch.
It would be a good tool to illustrate lessons and build presentations. It's a new service At this stage, there are a limited number of these swirls. You can see a demo on impressionist paintings at http://image-swirl.googlelabs.com/html?q=impressionism#
Students can use the Wonder Wheel feature for some brainstorming on a topic. There's also a Timeline feature that allows you to scan historical references to a topic and then focus on a specific date(s).
Like other services in the Labs, this one could disappear at any time - but there always seems to be something new.
