A New Language

On the Internet, most people communicate through text, whether through email, newsgroups, message boards, or presenting information on a website. And often because we cannot see the people we interact with, we miss out on the normal bodily cues that tell us how people may be feeling or reacting. Like whether the person you're talking to was smiling or laughing when you said something. Or whether they scowled....It is difficult to translate emotions.

Search Engines for Kids and Families

The following are a series of links to family appropriate search engines. Please note however that there is still always the small possibility that these sites may themselves allow inadvertent access to inappropriate material. WISE KIDS cannot make any guarantees in this respect.

Ask Jeeves for Kids allows children to ask questions naturally and as they try a few searches they get the idea of how to refine the questions they should ask. There is a good Study Tools section and a homework message board.
