Today, with the help of Common Sense Media, we will learn about the differences between search engines, directories, and meta-search engines. We will sample and compare the different search sites available within each category.
The handout I will give to you will ask that you explore:
Google (search engine)
Yahoo Directory (directory)
Dogpile (meta-search engine)
Ask (search engine)
Dmoz (directory)
Metacrawler (meta-search engine)
Quintura for Kids (search engine)
Yahoo Directory for Kids (directory)
Please share with your parents what you learned today. This is the first lesson of several about Internet Searching and Researching. Here is a fact sheet for your parents about Internet searching:
