Grade Range: K - 11
Oolone visual search engine searches the web and shows the results as thumbnail images of each webpage. Oolone is ideal for those who are visual learners. (If you often recognize sites by their look rather than their words, this tool will hep you find the site you recall but cannot name.) Although this search engine appears "plain vanilla," its best features aren’t obvious until you start using it. Hover over the thumbnails to get an enlarged view of each site without having to leave your search results. This allows you to spend less time on sites that don’t fit your needs. Oolone doesn’t track you so no ads appear.
In the Classroom
This site is perfect for your visual learners or weaker readers. Use this site on an interactive whiteboard to show students how to search for information. Use the page counter to show students how different search terms provide different results. Place on your class webpage for students to access at school and home. Be sure to check out their <a href="http://oolone.com/teaching-resource.aspx">education page</a> where you can find lesson ideas. Learning support and ESL/ELL students will appreciate being able to search without as much reading. Even very young students can LOOK for a site using this search tool, assuming they can type just a little bit.
At Home
This site is a real time saver because you and your child will be able to browse several webpages at one time. For some extra summer learning, be sure to check out their <a href="http://oolone.com/teaching-resource.aspx">education page</a> where you can find lesson ideas.
