About Choosito! safe search for K-12 Android App

Choosito filters websites by reading level and theme.
Choosito analyzes billions of pages on the web and picks out the ones that match your reading level and topic of research in only a matter of seconds.

1) Look for resources in the Library or the Web
The Library contains educational resources curated by educators. The Library is an excellent first stop for typical school projects. Students can focus on finding information using trusted resources. If you don't find what you need in the Library or if the topic would benefit from a variety of resources, select the Web.

2) Narrow results by reading level and theme
Narrow down your search by selecting target reading level(s) and theme. The four reading levels Early, Emerging, Fluent, and Advanced correspond to 1st-3rd, 4th-6th, 7th-9th, and 10th-12th grades respectively. Sometimes it is advisable to select two adjacent levels. Fluent readers, for example, would not want to miss out on Emerging Reader resources which may contain useful information for their projects.

3) Add to the library
Click on the plus sign to recommend adding a website you value to the library. When you add a resource, you will, also, be asked to provide the readling level and theme of the website.

4) It's in the Library already!
Some Web search results feature a red library icon. This is an indication that the resource belongs to the Library collection. This gives you an indication that the resource is valued by educators like you.

5) Rate the resource
This is a student favorite, too. Rate the quality of a resource that you visited and everyone is a winner. Students love to rate the sites and also to see what others think of them. They will pick those resources knowing that they are valued and save themselves time by avoiding poorly rated sites. Choosito is also learning to make better choices!
