SearchKidRex — a cool search engine for kids recommended by Kent Stahlman, WFB Drector of Technology…

This search engine is designed specifically for children’s interests, homing in on popular content that appeals to young Web viewers while filtering out potentially harmful sites. KidRex works like a Google search engine, but it also has some kid-friendly design features, including a giant image of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Parents and teachers may find the site to be a reliable resource as well, with its regularly updated content added to the custom-search option. A parents’ page includes information about Web safety with recommendations about how to protect children while they surf the Internet.
