ABOUT SEARCH ENGINES:
There are several links specifically designed for children to search the web.  I have compiled a list of them on the Student Links  page, as well as sites that instruct students on how to effectively search the internet.  There are many other links that are also good for finding information but since they are not designed primarily for children, their use should be carefully monitored by parents.  I have compiled a list of them on the Teacher Links page but did not include them on the Student Page.
