· Recommended Search
Suggested searches are provided in six different categories for each academic level. Click on **Image Search** in your **My Tools** widget to access these recommended searches. These are provided as examples for you. To view a different set of image recommendations, click on a different grade level tab, then on **Image Search** again.

· Getting an Image Search Result
netTrekker Search will provide Image Results from sites that have been approved by educators. Each Image Results page will display up to nine results and their corresponding filenames. The total number of images found for your keyword is shown in the upper right hand corner of the result. Click on either the image itself or "View Image Details" to open a new window with the website that contains the chosen image. A thumbnail of the image appears in the frame on top of the page. Click on that to isolate the image. Please see netTrekker Search's __ Image Copyright Disclaimer __ for information about use of these images.

The results vary from one grade level to the next and can be changed by clicking on Elementary, Middle, or High in the Grade Leap widget at the right of your page. The number of results available at each level is listed next to the level title.
