 1- 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.

 3- 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.

 4- 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.
