Have any research-based projects coming up second semester?
Consider using one of these SAFE search engines instead of just "Googling" it!
For a complete list of search engines, including those on our lcsc.us/libraries site, click here.
Kid-friendly search engines
Protecting students from unsafe content is the most important reason for
using search engines made specifically for kids. Allowing your students to
have the run of the web using a search engine for young students helps you,
because it is difficult to monitor an entire class that is using unfiltered search engines.
Of course, there is no guarantee that results will be safe even when using a
search engine tailored for children. Many districts have filters on their networks,
but if yours does not, we suggest you explore the following.
Google Kid Search: This is a custom search engine using Google’s Safe Search
features with additional filtering to block more potentially harmful material than
if you simply use Google. It is fun, colorful and easy for kids to use.
Ask Kids: This is a free, filtered search engine for Grades K-6.
