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

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I've discovered *Kiddle.co*, a Google search engine for kids and so far
have had good luck w/it.

I do not recommend *Kid Search*. This site (Kid Search) is linked to a
Nearpod unit I purchased for Common Sense Digital Citizenship (Unit 1,
lesson 1) on Safe Searches (ironically). In the lesson, the kids are
directed to "explore" this site and when they did, they easily found videos
w/inappropriate language, of dogs "twerking" (from the mouth of a
kindergartner!), etc. I've emailed Nearpod to inform them that this site is
not so kid-friendly and needs to be removed from the lesson.
