[ISLMA-Share] What's your favorite "kid" search engine

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

For 7th and 8th graders, I like to use Yippy. The left-hand column has a nice list of terms to help them narrow down a topic.

http://www.wolframalpha.com/ is the other one I like to share with 8th graders.

For 6th graders, I show them http://www.dibdabdoo.com/ and https://www.factmonster.com/  Too bad Kidsclick is gone.

The Webpath Express from Destiny works nicely for finding school safe websites for all grades.

Sincerely,

Alan, Librarian serving Brooks Middle School

We'd like to make a BIG list of those engines that are more kid friendly.  Looking for ideas.  THANKS in advance!
