safe search engines for students part1

With the advancement of technology and internet , cyber safety has become a real issue for parents ,schools and other educative agents . Integrating materials from the internet into our classrooms do not always prove to be the best solutions sometimes we risk our students safety or exposure to non relevant ads . In this regard , I have prepared a paper about some student-friendly and safe search engines we can use with our students at school.
If you are a teacher and you want to read my series of posts covering the best search engines teachers need to be aware of and use , then read The 21st century search engines teachers need to use .
