CAMIO

Note: This resource is only available at schools in libraries, not from home.

This resource allows the user to search museums for images. To explore it, I entered Paul Revere in the search and found many images of paintings and artifacts. Some examples include items Paul Revere created such as a teaspoon or a salver. Others were works of art created by artists that were of Paul Revere. By clicking on the images, I was able to view them closer and learn about them.

When looking up "Sioux" I found many artifacts and artwork that can be found in museums. For example, there were pipes, dolls, and story illustrations on hide. When searching "Picasso" over 1000 results came up. 184 results were provided when searching "World War". Once you find some images that you would like to use, you can add to favorites section so that a screen appears with some good options. You may view slideshow, create webpage, and other oprions which would be helpful in researching or sharing your research results. This could be helpful in classes.
