About AskKids.com: Overview

It's a free, safe, fun way for kids and their parents to quickly and easily research school topics like science, math, geography, language arts, and history in a search environment that's safer and more age-appropriate than traditional, adult search engines. Studies prove that visual learning improves children's comprehension, retention, critical thinking, and organization.

Additionally, children are better at "mousing" than typing. Ask Kids was built with this in mind, and organizes search results in a graphically vivid three-panel display that includes SmartAnswers and related images, current events and encyclopedia results. Each web site in the Ask Kids core search index was selected by the Ask.com editorial team as child-appropriate or as a relevant and practical site for reference and learning.

Top 10 Safe Search Engines by David Kapuler

After thinking about it (and having just done a list on Top 10 Search Engines other than Google) I was able to come up with a number of them that meet this need. However, keep in mind when dealing with students and surfing the internet that no site is 100% safe -- even when using filtered search engines. That being said, when choosing search engines for students' use, consider starting with following sites: Sweet Search - A group of experts, including librarians and teachers, evaluates all content from this search engine.Top Marks - A great site developed in the UK by teachers who approved everything on this site.Quintura for Kids - An innovative search engine for kids that displays results in a cloud-based style.
