How easy that will be I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, during the <em>scary clown<\/em> storm I was hearing about clown stories every day. One pupil was most insistent that there was a clown plague. The pupil presented me with &#8216;evidence&#8217; from his iPad. This was a photo of a dead clown stretched out shot on a New York street. I took a look with the idea of demonstrating a wee bit of fact checking. On scrolling down below the picture I found the headline explaining that this was a fake photo! No detective work needed.<\/p>\n<p>I am not quite sure where to start with this teaching. Perhaps using the reverse image search to identify things or creatures combined with some work on <a href=\"http:\/\/zapatopi.net\/treeoctopus\/\">The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that the fake stuff is catchy, fun and enables us to grab a quick stance.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/skrubu\/7026091961\/\">Reversed | Pekka Nikrus | Flickr<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/\">BY-NC-SA<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago I posed about an interesting use of Google reverse image search: Google Image Search And over the years I&#8217;ve read a good few posts about the tool on Alan&#8217;s blog (e.g. The Hidden Complexity of Attribution, Reverse Image Search ).
