Google allows user to create their own search engines. With Google Custom Search you can create a customized search experience for your own website.
* Include one or more websites, or specific webpages
* Host the search box and results on your own website
* Customize the look and feel of the results to match your site
This is a great way to help young children concentrate on searching for key information and not get side tracked or overwhelmed with a large number of irrelevant sites.
Link to basic guide.
Rollyo is another custom search engine, that teachers can use to help with inquiry. It gives you the tools to create your own personal search engines - with no programming required. The potential for using this tool with children is that they can be focused on research and guided by reputable sites.
I liked to way your seachrolls are listed under the search engine box. It could be a powerful resource for schools to develop.
