Thing #17: Rollyo

Select...Book ListsLessonsMuseumsSearch The Web

Rollyo allows me to create custom search engines using only pre-selected websites. Once I create a search engine, I can save it and use it anytime. For this exercise, I created three search engines for lessons, book lists, and museums. All three of these can be accessed from my profile.
Rollyo is easy to use and can become a must-have when doing research with students in grades 1-5. I can select several 'safe' sites and create a serch engine that would be relevant to the topic of study. This way, I ensure student safety without taking the search out of research.
