Safe Kids Search Engines

If you want or need a safe place for your students to search the web for activities or even a project, here are 2 really cool kids search engines.
The 1st search engine is a google search engine.  It is www.kiddle.co.  Don't forget that it isn't ".com."  
How is Kiddle designed specifically for kids?
  • Most Kiddle search results are illustrated with big thumbnails, which makes it easier to scan the results, differentiate between them, and click the most appropriate results to your query. Thumbnails serve as visual clues and are especially beneficial to kids as they don't read as fast as adults.
  • Kiddle serves search results in large Arial font, providing better readability for kids.
  • Kiddle utilizes Google safe search technology to filter any explicit or deceptive sites. Queries containing adult terms are blocked.
  • The second search engine is www.kidzsearch.com.  It is also powered by google.
  • KidzSearch.com is a search engine that's supposed to be tailored to provide safe, adult-content-free search results. Sexually charged terms and curse words are blocked. The only bad thing about www.kidzsearch.com is the ads and some news info will pop up on the site.
