5 Safe Search Engines for Kids and Great Search Tips
Written by:
Google and Bing are the go-to search engines but sometimes as some of you have probably run into but without parental controls enabled children can access adult content can come up.
Also, these search engines, do not cater to students that require easy reading levels. A research page or wiki can be way too wordy to read through/comprehend for information learning or researching. I have tested out and love these kid-friendly search engines:
Our Learnstyle team loves these websites too :) We use them regularly with our students during training. My fav from this list was Kidrex .
Search Tips and Search Shortcuts
Here are some of my favourite search tips/shortcuts/ research tools to use:
- When you search, Make your search age specific by customizing it, for example don't search "cats", instead search "cat info for kids". This is great for students that need easier reading level material.
- To do a comparison when you're in Google, you can type in "Cat vs. Dogs" and a comparison chart will come up.
- When searching for keywords or information on a website, document, PDF, etc, use the ctrl f shortcut. This allows you to search for keywords and will search that entire text to see if that word is in the text.
