Search Engines and Reference Sites
Check out these search engines and reference sites. Most of them are visual and easy to use which makes them kid-friendly. However, that does not mean that these search engines block inappropriate websites. I suggest you try them out yourself before using them in your classroom or in a school library or media center to see if they will fit your needs. Monitoring your students when they use the internet is also always a good idea. =)
