Choosito (https://www.choosito.com/) is a smart search engine powered by artificial intelligence that provides resources based on a student’s reading level. Choosito is supported by the National Science Foundation.
On Choosito, teachers can set up accounts to allow students to search for material based on their reading level (early, emerging, fluent, and advanced readers) and specific subject areas. Users can then select where to search for resources – the Choosito Web, the Choosito library, the Choosito image database, public collections, or personal collections. Once the specifications are set, Choosito offers thousands of results for students and educators to access.
An interesting and unique feature Choosito offers is the Choosito Highlighter Tool. This tool is a browser extension for Google Chrome that allows users to highlight and add notes to various websites. This feature allows users to take researching the web to a whole new level by making content personalized to a reader’s needs.
Choosito is an excellent tool for students and teachers. The internet is filled with lots of content, and it can be difficult to ensure that what students search for is appropriate for their reading level and what they are looking for. Choosito eliminates the potential harms of the online world by providing material to children using artificial intelligence. Teachers and parents can be assured that their child is learning and reading at their level and that it is happening in a safe, online environment.
