Safety Guaranteed
Protecting children is becoming harder in a virtual world. While the Web offers students greater access to high-quality information than any generation before them, there's also a lot of inappropriate material out there. iSEEK™ Education incorporates safe search technologies and editorial review to ensure results are safe and reputable. Rest assured that iSEEK™ K–12 Internet users are receiving only age-appropriate search results.
Authoritative Resources
Gathered from thousands of trusted educational sources, iSEEK™ Education resources are selected for quality and are subject to review by leading educators. iSEEK™ Education also searches deeper than traditional engines to produce the most specific and relevant results. Finally, the bank of resources is evaluated and updated at a rate of several hundred links per week, creating a dynamic search experience as up-to-date as the Web itself.
iSEEK™ Understands
Finding the right keywords can be tricky, especially in a statistics-based search that has no idea who you are or what you’re looking for. iSEEK™ Education, with advanced linguistic, conceptual, and AI technologies, is different. It knows that you are looking for education-related materials, and it understands the meaning embedded in the questions you ask. As a result, it returns the most relevant, useful, and meaningful results every time. You no longer have to strategically select keywords, then add to them, revise them, and search again in hopes of getting better results—simply ask questions and get answers.
iViews™ Make Sense
The first "i" in iView™ stands for "intelligent," and you can rely on them to do a little more "thinking" about your search, so you can do a little less work. The iViews™ will categorize your results by focusing on you, not on statistics. With iViews™, you can see topics and themes in your results, target your subject and grade level, and more. Click an iView™ to narrow your results, or mouse over a title to highlight the iView™ categories associated with it. See at a glance whether a link leads to a worksheet or a lesson plan, and if it's intended for sixth grade or tenth grade.
Web-based Bookmarks Go Everywhere
iSEEK™ lets you bookmark anything you can find on the Web—Web sites, blogs, videos, PDFs, worksheets created in Microsoft® Word, and more! Simply click the bookmark icon
to add a link to your personal library of favorites. Organizing your bookmarks into personal categories is easy on the iSEEK™ homepage. By logging in to iSEEK™, you'll open up this dynamic library and dashboard of organization tools. You can build your library on any browser, on any computer, and return home to find your virtual world of resources waiting for you there, too. You have a library in your house, in your community, and another in your school—isn't it time you had one that can go anywhere you go?
MySEEK™ Bookmark Search

In addition to browsing your bookmarks on the iSEEK™ homepage, you can search directly against your bookmarks to target particular information or resources you know you’ve found before.
