Visual Search Using Cooliris
I just recently stumbled across a fantastic plugin for the Firefox browser called Cooliris that revolutionizes the searching and experiencing media online. Here’s a quick demo of Cooliris in action…
I’ve only just begun to experiment with Cooliris but thus far I’m very impressed and considering how I might use this combination of search/sort/view functionality in a class or training presentation. Are you a Cooliris user? If not, give it a try! If you have used Cooliris, what are your impressions and ideas for use in education?

Cooliris was Tim’s exemplary design item for Module 1!

As Sharon mentioned, this was my exemplary design item for the 1st module. I love it and use it all the time when searching for images. The scrolling wall makes finding just the right picture a breeze. It’s easy, intuitive and integrated right into the browser. Great add-on!

Tim made a great choice for an exemplary design example. I’m really enjoying Cooliris…wish I’d had this for years! If anyone else comes across any other handy add-ons like this please make sure to share in your blog.
