Just had a quick look at Rollyo and wish I'd had access to this a few years ago while teaching Studies of Religion! For me, that was the most obvious use this tool would have - senior kids doing research etc - it would make it so much easier (for me and them!). There was always the problem of students accessing information from sites that weren't very reliable. The students do need to learn to recognise the difference between reliable and unreliable sources on the net, however I think there would be times when it would be useful to 'restrict' their searching rather than have them search for something very general using Google, for example, and have it return thousands of results that may or may not be from sites that are useful. It would save lots of time!
There's probably lots of other things I could use it for too - I think it's good to be aware of these tools for future reference - Ali might like to do a search of Wiggles colouring-in pages on some of her favorite sites! :-)
I quickly put together a search roll on Christian beliefs that might be something Studies of Religion kids would use (but I'm not sure if that link is going to work). It's pretty basic and something I'd probably have to do a bit more work on and add more to but... it's a start, I guess.
