Evri is a new search engine that offers a service that has great potential for helping students conduct research. What Evri does, besides serving as a search engine, is show you the topics that are connected to your search term. For example when if you search for information about George Washington, Evri provides results on one side of the page while on the other side of the page showing you a web of names and topics related to George Washington. See the screen shot below to see how Evri displays connections.

Applications for Education
Evri could be a handy resource for students that are stumped on where to look next for ideas and information. I’m thinking that Evri could be useful for those times when you assign research papers but don’t want to end up with twenty papers on the same topic. In that case, have students explore Evri to find some related ideas for research papers.
