Another tool featured is the "Edit" feature, which allows users to alter or crop their uploaded photos. Quintura Kids: search engine that is kid oriented. Maybe not the best search engine because it has very limited information. The website has potential, but it does not have access to enough information. Limits searches to kid friendly sites, but does not provide extensive topics. Callie: Duck Duck Go*- search engine tool. Easy teacher use. Directs all searches to information that is specific. It contains a filter bubble that pulls up valid resources rather than blogs. Has more extensive information than Quintura Kids. Go Gooligans- search engine for kids and teens.
