Some useful search engines

Here are some new search engines which should be useful in the classroom. They are particularly good for classrooms because they are visual search engines, and let kids have an idea of what the page looks like.

Viewzi

Viewzi is great because it gives you different options to search by. You just enter a search term and then choose the type of search that fits it best.

SearchMe

SearchMe is similar to Viewzi. It uses a carousel approach so that you can just scroll through the images of the web pages. They are nice and large, great for kids, and you can narrow your search topic at the top of the page. You can also see the results in a full screen mode.

Yoozila

Yoozila is a simple search engine like Google, but also shows a thumbnail of the web page next to its entry.
