S is for SweetSearch
A super sweet summer find that's as student-friendly as they come is the SweetSearch. This is a search engine geared solely for students, with every one of the 35,000+ websites listed having been researched by their expert staff. So it becomes a super safe search engines--I think we have all had that situation where we were Googling or Bing-ing or Yahoo-ing something, and then all of a sudden we find ourself somewhere we definitely never intended!
You have some levels with SweetSearch, depending on what you are wanting your search to find:--SweetSearch Web Research Tutorial = for a focused place to hone you/your students' research skills.
--SweetSearch4Me = the SS search engine for the younger computer set out there, just beginning to learn how to use a search engine.
--SweetSearch2Day = a place to go to learn something new every day.
--SweetSearch Biographies = for biography searches, with over 1,000 noteable people
--SweetSearch Social Studies = a SS search engine for SS
