For your project you will be collecting key resources for your project. These resources should be reputable, and come from a variety of forms. Consider using video, text, images and even audio to help give yourself a complete picture of your topic.

We are going to explore using Wakelet as a curation tool.

Consider looking at the following sites:

This Wakelet has a number of sites to check out including:

• Google Arts & Culture offers some amazing Ancient Collections. Here is one from the British Museum.
• National Geographic has some wonderful videos.
• Crash Course has some videos on many ancient civilisations.
• Instead of using Wikipedia as a source- check out its References at the bottom of the article. Britannica and World Book online offer more reliable information, but these should be only starting points. Image Quest is a great resource tool for images.

Tools to create your Digital Infographic

• Gale Database World HistoryTopic Search: Click here.
• Image Quest is a great place for quality digital images.
• To make your Infographic consider trying Canva for Education.

There are a number of potential ways of find images that are high quality and rights cleared images.

1. We have access to Britannica Online Image Quest. This resource has a great search engine which allows you to search subjects and shapes and create citations. Click here to access.
2. Pixabay is an online resource that offers some rights-free images. People can choose to sign up or search as a guest. Like Google, it does also have adult content so be aware.
3. Google Image search does offer a search with a rights cleared options. Note that just because an image can be “googled” does not mean you have the permission to use it.
