It's important to keep our kids safe online, but also important to teach them to use the resources available on the internet. Older children will be required, more and more, to do on-line research for the school projects.

Here are some on-line resources for kids to do research for fun or school, that have been developed specifically to help kids use the internet in a safe environment.

 

Resource #1:  Walter R. Sundling's Research * Technology Center Page

Walter R. Sundling's Research*Technology Center has developed a research website that serves as a portal for students to the web.  It has links to all kinds of on-line resources that kids can use for research projects.

 

Resource #2:  KidZui (FREE)

For maximum technology usage with minimum safety risks, KidZui offers an alternative to using Google for research.  Kids ages 3-12 can have their own separate accounts, giving each access through the KidZui browser to age-appropriate videos, pictures, research information, games and websites.

 

Resource #3:  Palatine Library Online

The Palatine Library website has a section with links to kid-friendly research sites.
