You can then see notes on each term by hovering over the keyword. If the notes are relevant to your essay, you can drag them to the notepad at the side.
Here's a video showing how it work.
Once students have their notes they can either save, copy or email then to themselves. They then have notes on which to base their essay along with links to follow up and find more information.

Nik, thanks for the recommendation on eyeplorer. I teach sixth grade and often find it quite challenging to focus student searches and help them in the write :) direction. I hope to use this one soon!
@ Mary
That's great. Would be great if you could leave a comment telling other users how you got on and what your students thought of it.
