Student Search

Ask Jeeves is a unique service where you enter a question, and Ask Jeeves tries to point you to the right web page that provides an answer. At Ask Jeeves For Kids, answers have been vetted for appropriateness.

Kid's Search Tools

Search some of the services described above and others from a single page.

Yahoo for kids, designed for ages 7 to 12. Sites are hand-picked to be appropriate for children. Also, unlike normal Yahoo, searches will not be forwarded to Yahoo's search engine partner Inktomi if there is no match from within the Yahooligan listings. This prevents possibly objectionable sites from slipping onto the screen. Additionally, adult-oriented banner advertising will not appear within the service. Yahooligans is the oldest major directory for children, launched in March 1996.

Reference provider Information Please produces this site which provides facts and information oriented around the needs of children.

A database of over 6400 sites compiled by librarians

Over 12,000 sites have been classified into a directory, specifically organized for teachers, students and parents. Information can be found by browsing or searching.


   

Archived suggestions from Barbara Feldman's syndicated column.
Ask Jeeves for Kids -First searches a database of selected sites arranged as questions; then conducts a parallel search of encyclopedias, Yahooligans and Education World.
ThinkQuest Library -Over 5000 student-created Web sites.
