KidsClick! search engine for kids!

Posted by Richard Kuhlenschmidt Sun, 21 Jan 2007 22:36:44 GMT

Via BloggingBaby, there is another new search engine for kids, KidsClick.

KidsClick! was created by a group of librarians at the Ramapo Catskill Library System, as a logical step in addressing concerns about the role of public libraries in guiding their young users to valuable and age appropriate web sites. And, much like a library, KidsClick has categories to help find results on certain topics like Science and Math, The Arts, Society and Government. These categories allow you to focus in on your topic and get more relevant results. KidsClick! is ad free, but there is one one caveat

KidsClick! is not an Internet filter. It does not prevent client web browsers from being used to surf any URL address that the user inputs. It is intended to guide users to good sites; not block them from “bad” sites. However, it could be used in conjunction with a filter product where law allows filters to be used.

If your child is doing research for school, KidsClick is worth looking into.
