Visual Searching
published
Tip:
- This is a unique and fun way to search
- Go to KartOO, which calls itself a “visual meta search engine.”
- Type in your search topic and click Go.
- A “map” with interactive links to related Web pages appears.
- Click on any of the links. At the left will appear a tiny image of that Web page. Click the image to go to that particular Web page.
- Also appearing on the left is a list of folders. Clicking on any brings up even more links.
- Because kartOO is visual it enables one to easily grasp the relationships between various topics and sub-topics. Exploring such relationships might make for interesting classroom discussions about knowledge and levels of understanding.
- You can print, save, and even send your kartOO “map.”
- Finally, users can even add a site to KartOO.
- Spend some time exploring KartOO. You’ll find it a refreshing change from Google.
