Back to School Web 2.0

Q: In your blog, tell us about your experiences with these websites. Are there any others that you could recommend for kids?

Glubble - I like the idea of this site. While my children are not old enough to use such a site, it is nice to know that this is available and will most likely evolve by the time they become internet savvy.

Kids Tube - I had never heard of this site and am glad that there is a safer option for kids than YouTube.

Quintura for Kids - When searching a word or phrase, the results are not extensive (which may be a good thing for a child doing research). An advantage of this search engine is that there are other associated words or phrases that relate to the initial entry. This provides suggestions to the child and expands their search results.

Ask For Kids - I performed the same search on AskKids.com and Ask.com and the results on AskKids.com was visually easier to view. I especially liked the options in the toolbox located on the left side of the page.
