SLJ (W3/A28): Step it up Which face is real

LI: To create a screencastofy and show a tutorial on reversing images through google. 


The above screencastofy is the eighth Step it up activity for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. It showcases a video tutorial in which I explain how google can help in reversing images. "Reversing Images" basically means learning more about the image through the related searches and the content that is connected to the picture. I think that watching the introduction video provided on the site was very helpful for me because I never knew that anything like this exists on google. The strategy of reversing images can be very helpful for us in many ways because students are often assigned researches on different topics and when we know about what image we were adding, it often gets more detailed. Thus, I am glad to know about this.

Yes, I do think that the camera never lies as it captures a moment in life and when we see the image again we can exactly think of what we did then. But when I think if it is true now, the answer would probably be a no, due to the digital changes and makeup add ons in a picture. These extra details are very common nowadays because of the green screen provided in photo editing shops. It can be called a "fraud" as the person is not actually where it is showed in the picture but has a digital background behind it. I really enjoyed doing this activity because it was very knowledgeable for me and I learnt to differentiate between a fake and real picture.

    It’s Shannon from the Summer Learning Journey.

    Fantastic work explaining to your audience how to reverse image search on google! I didn’t know you could right click it and it would do it instantly, I’ve been dragging the picture to the google image site manually! Thank you for your help!

    When do you think it might be important for you to search for images on google?

    Happy blogging!

    Ka kite anō,
    Shannon (SLJ)
