This was the first research prototype designed to act as the mediator or front-end between teachers’ pedagogical expressions (professional language) and Google’s search engine or language.

The design and development of PoSTech was motivated by the fact that there is not a great deal of work carried on making the technology, in particular web searching, easier for teachers to use in their classroom teaching. Hence, highlighting how ‘Personalisation’ is flagged by both the Government and technologists as the way forward in tackling many of the barriers faced by web users in general, and educational web users in particular, in their web searching.
