I have to admit that I was excited about getting to this task after reading LatteLover's blog and using her "What's for Dinner?" Rollyo. What a perfect way to combine your Favorites or Bookmarks folder in the browser!
This past week a fifth grade teacher at one of the school's in my district wanted his students to do a "quick" research project on endangered animals before they attend outdoor science school. The teacher clearly defined his goal in the computer lab. This project was not intended for the students to practice search skills. He wanted each group to read selected websites for specific content. The librarian made a del.icio.us list, but now I see how a Rollyo search box would have provided a way for each to pick and choose their preferred search result.
I'm sharing this one at the next computer specialist meeting!

Yeah BUT did you notice how you can't get rid of the advertising and sponsored links? The google make-your-own-search feature is much cleaner.
Wow - Endangered Species Rollyo - what a coincidence - my fifth graders will be working on this project in the coming weeks. I think we'll try your search engine. If we have some other good sites, maybe we can Roll"yo" them all into one!
