Safe Search Sites For Kids                                     Thanks to Kim Komando - www.komando.com )

Kids Konnect This site was created with four goals in mind:
First, to create a site that allowed children to safely and effectively utilize the Internet.  Second, to make sure I covered the curriculum areas taught in school. Third, to make sure there were lots of fun sites for kids to visit.  Finally, to keep the site free so that all children could use it. 
Yahoo! Kids  This site contains movies, games and educational content. It also has a kid-friendly search. A real person has checked every site that appears in search results. There is also a Study section for finding help with homework.
Ask Kids  This site lets children search using more than keywords. They can ask questions to refine the results. They can ask things like, “When did Hawaii becomes a state?” It will return a quick answer, as well as search results. And those results are handpicked by editors.
KidsClick!  Librarians choose the search results here. They select sites for children in grades K-7. Your kids can browse through specific categories like art, math and computers. Or they can search for whatever they want. Controversial topics (sex, religion, etc.) are included in search results. These sites are allowed only if they are educational and age-appropriate.
ThinkQuest Library Oracle, the database company, holds an annual competition called ThinkQuest. Students, ages 9-19, create and enter educational Web sites. These sites cover a variety of topics, including sports, geography and history. The Library allows kids to search through all of these student-created sites. Some are cool. They might inspire your kids to enter the contest.
KOL  This is AOL’s site for kids. It has articles, games, videos and music. Kids can search the Web through a moderated version of AOL’s search. It returns kid-friendly results. There is also a homework help section and message board for kids. If you have very young children, check the Jr. section. It’s designed for preschoolers.
Pics4Learning  This search site contains only pictures. Teachers, students and amateur photographers donate them. The photos are copyrighted. But t any student or teacher can use them for free. There are pictures on almost any topic. It’s a great resource for school presentations.
SearchEdu  This site uses Google to search for sites with the “.edu” address. That means results are all educational institutions, mostly colleges. These sites are often created for adult students. As such, they may contain adult content. But it is usually educational. This search is great for finding help with homework.
Fact Monster  This is another homework site. It is filled with facts and articles on various topics. Children can only search within the site. They’ll also get results for encyclopedia entries, timelines and biographies.
GALIELO Kid's search engines provided by the state of Georgia. Also includes a search engine for high school, middle school, and teachers.
KidRex KidRex is a fun and safe search for kids, by kids! KidRex searches emphasize kid-related webpages and are powered by Google Custom Search and use Google SafeSearch technology.

Google's SafeSearch screens for sites that contain explicit sexual content and deletes them from your child’s search results. Google's filter uses advanced technology to check keywords, phrases, and URLs. No filter is 100 percent accurate, but SafeSearch should eliminate most inappropriate material.
