  7. “Unless students are trained to use the advanced features of search engines like Google, they tend to gather huge piles of pages that contribute little to understanding. Some have likened these piles of information to a landfill.” Jamie McKenzie (fno.org) Google Search Results

  8. “You’ve got to go in there and have a look at the sites that mainly you’re going to be using. I liken it to taking the kids down to Te Papa and saying “Okay guys go for it.” They might know what they’re looking for, but do you want them to meander their whole day looking for the information, or do you want to point them in the right direction?” (Teacher)

  9. Kid-friendly search engines • Yahoo KidsThis is the remake of the ‘Yahooligans’ site. Search results are kid safe. • Kids Click!Searches about 5,000 kid-friendly websites selected by librarians • Ask for KidsThis replaces ‘Ask Jeeves for Kids’. Searches result in a list of keywords.
