When officially appearing in the near future, school administrators can turn off Ads for Bing For School as well as enable the SafeSearch feature on a regular basis - the name Microsoft sets for its adult content filter.
In addition, Microsoft will provide some of Bing's special home-based wallpapers for educational purposes, and students can interact with these images to "explore new and unexpected topics" . Besides, short lessons and questions help children enhance their knowledge by finding results, thinking and answering right away in Bing.
Microsoft says schools can join Bing For School on a voluntary basis. The administrator will not need to install additional software or use special links. All tweaks can be done on the web and of course this program is completely free.
Microsoft is still in the process of finalizing Bing For School to add some more features. The time when this version of Bing officially went into operation has not been announced yet.
Microsoft has recently lowered the price of Surface RT for schools to just $ 199 for tablets and $ 50 for a case with a Type Covers keyboard, and if retail, the pair is priced at $ 599.
In addition to Microsoft, Google previously provided a limited version of YouTube to schools, where students could only access YouTube EDU. However, students can still turn off or open Google's adult content filter on their own without any problems.
