INTERNET USE AND RESEARCH SUPPORTS
KidsClick! - This search engine is designed specifically for children in the sense that it has all kid-friendly results to searches. It is very colorful and inviting. Also, there are three different ways of searching (keyword, category, and alphabetical) which narrows down the findings for the students. Students often become annoyed and frustrated if they cannot find what they are looking for; therefore KidsClick! is the perfect search engine to use.

Fact Monster - This search engine is excellent for students. There are icons in which they could click on to learn more information about rather than having to spend a lot of time searching for on other websites. The icons provide the general topic while the subtopics (after clicking on a general topic) give more information for a specific topic.
