Teach Your Kids the Secrets of Smart Web Searching. Help Your Child Search the Web Like a Pro “Let’s google dinosaurs.”

Sound familiar? Searching the Web is so commonplace that even young children know what it means to “google.” But when your children really need to do research for a report – or dive deeper into a subject they’re interested in – it helps to know some strategies for improving their results. Effective online searching can make a huge difference in the quality and relevance of the content your children find on the Internet. But it takes a bit of know-how to improve the chances of getting back the information they’re looking for.

You can help your child search smarter – and waste less time – by explaining how to search like a pro. Why It Matters Everyone knows there’s a huge amount of data on the Internet. Different search engines work differently. Finally, the links that come up in searches may have some strings attached – not to the research topic, but to advertisers. Smart searching will help avoid a lot of wasted time. Parents & Guardians. Digital Literacy and Citizenship Classroom Curriculum.
