[LM_NET] Share: New Search Engine

[Linda DeVore <linda.devore@CGELEM.K12.AZ.US>]

Has anyone tried "Middlespot" http://middlespot.com/search.php
<http://middlespot.com/search.php>  with their kids for searching?  "You
can add, annotate, cluster, layer, pan, resize, tweet and share the
content you've collected." It lets the user create a mashup of their
search results on their own page.  "You can pan, magnify, and organize
multiple content items in a single workspace. Double click on any
thumbnail to open that content in its own browser tab.  Your mashtab is
saved as a tab at the bottom of the middlespot interface."  When you use
the search engine it shows the search results with a visual display of
the pages found, and you are then able to save these pages to your own
"mashtab".  In looking around I discovered when you click on the right
arrow beside "my start page" that there are several formats available
including "Kid Launch".  Click on Kid Launch and it immediately starts
with several educational sites including Funbrain, EdHeads, Lego,
Sheppard Software, Fact Monster, IXL Math Practice, Help Kidz Learn,
Dance Mat Typing, Britannica Online for Kids, and InfoPlease Homework
Helper.  This place definitely has some possibilities!
