What separates this from other search engines, like Google or Bing, is that it sources several resources (websites, slideshows, video, online textbooks, files, etc.) curated by educators and community experts, "guaranteeing you’ll find high-quality materials every time." Here explains more on how Gooru searches.
Teachers can create their own account, or simply start right in with their easy-to-use menu categorized by content areas - Science, Social Sciences and Math. Even students can jump right in and start learning. If an account is made, you will have options for collecting your customized materials and upload your own material and files to be added.
The cool thing about the video options (especially when customizing your own video finds) is that Gooru will allow you to select the specific timeframe within the video for viewers to watch. This is great when you don't want your audience to have to watch an entire clip in order to get the parts you want them to view. You could potentially prepare a collection of multimedia in your Gooru account and play segments of an entire video starting and stopping to review other content that you collected in a nice streamlined flow.
Once your multimedia resource collection is ready for viewing and learning, email your students the specific web link given for your collection.
Along with their collections and resources, Gooru offers quizes.
Here is a great little video explaining how Gooru works.
