This search engine offers a different approach to searching for information. Rather than presenting pages of "hits" as text heavy lists this search engine displays the results in an image rich mode. It is one of a growing number described as Visual Search Engines.

Pupils with a visual learning style may appreciate this method over more traditional search engines.

The example shown below shows the novel way kartoo presents websites matching the search for information on "catalysts". Kartoo suggests websites through intelligent arrangement of links which can be explored further along a particular chain.

Really, the best way to consider this site is to access the kartoo home page and search for a particular word or phase and decide if this approach offers yourself and your pupils an alternative route to finding information available from the Internet.

The magnifying glass icon (top right) allows for deeper investigation of a particular link and the options on the bottom right corner offer some very useful features.
