paul rayner's curator insight, January 20, 2017 5:15 PM
Most Kiddle search results are illustrated with big thumbnails, which makes it easier to scan the results, differentiate between them, and click the most appropriate results to your query. Thumbnails serve as visual clues and are especially beneficial to kids as they don't read as fast as adults. 
Kiddle use a .co instead of a .com domain?: In Kiddle's case "co" stands for "children only".
Kiddle is powered by Google Safe Search but is not affiliated with Google Inc.

InstaGrok is an interactive search engine that allows students to search for any topic in a visually engaging way. When students conduct a search query, InstaGrok finds the relevant information related to that query and present it in the form of interactive concept maps (grok).

Open Knowledge Maps - A visual interface to the world's scientific knowledge

Open Knowledge Maps - A visual interface to the world's scientific knowledge | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From openknowledgemaps.org - December 8, 2016 9:49 AM

VISUAL INTERFACE
We are creating a visual interface to the world's scientific knowledge that can be used by anyone in order to dramatically improve the discoverability of research results.

REVOLUTIONIZE DISCOVERY
We are going to provide a large-scale system of open, interactive and interlinked knowledge maps spanning all fields of research.

SHARE. USE. COLLABORATE.
We will develop a space for collective knowledge organisation and exploration, connecting researchers, students, librarians, journalists, practitioners and citizens.

HOW IT WORKS
An Open Knowledge Maps visualization presents you with a topical overview for your search term.


We use text similarity to create the knowledge maps. The algorithm groups those papers together that have many words in common.


The visualization is intended to give you a head start on your literature search. You can also use Open Knowledge Maps to stay up-to-date - just limit your search to the most recent papers in the options.

5 Handy Visual Search Engines for Teachers and Students | Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

5 Handy Visual Search Engines for Teachers and Students | Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - December 20, 2013 7:06 AM

A few days ago I received an email from one of my readers here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning inquiring about some suggestions on visual search engines. I have gone through my archive and come up with the list below.

Having access to the content in these search engines is one thing and sifting through the licensed content to use with your students is another thing; therefore I recommend that you first get yourself familiar with the ways and methods to search for CC licensed or public domaine images to use with students. This page is a good start for you.
