Search Engines for Kids

When you ask kids, "What do you like to do most?" many will tell you about their latest learning portable learning device.

Our children begin to use these devices at a very early age.   It is important to  teach them safe and responsible. 

EmergingEdTech recently posted a story, "8 Safe Search Engines and Tools for Kid"

• KidzSearch  Powered by Google -Searched "How to use Pythagorean Theorem" (About 106,000 results (0.27 seconds)")  Good variety of materials to explore.
• Searchy Pants   Must register with name and email. Categorizes search by type of materials. (About 105,000 results (0.40 seconds)
• KidRex  Also Google powered.  Much like first site.  (About 105,000 results (0.29 seconds))
• KidsClick  Offers many good sites.  No results returned on the above search.
• Yahoo Kids    Did not find this kid safe as I could search for subjects not appropriate for young learners.
• Aga-Kids   Search by text or visual icons.  One result returned on above search.
• Mymunka  By subject or tag.  (About 276,000 results (2.87 seconds))

As I visited each I could see a difference in the sophistication of each search engine.  Check them out and comment back on which engine you like most and why.

Guiding and coaching our children as learners starts at "birth".
