Words that aren’t relevant can be removed. There are icons on the search page that link to sports, animal, music, games searches and more. Word clouds can be imbedded onto wiki’s and blogs. This search engine is ideal for primary aged children. The word clouds provide keywords and associated words to a search. This will support and extend children when they are “finding out” and challenge them to think (and search) more broadly. ||
