Project #15- Search Engines

The Internet is flooded with different search engines.  How can a student sift through all the sites to find valuable research?  I have compiled a list of different search engines that specialize in different areas.  Students will be able to use these search engines based on the information they need.

1. WolframAlpha is a search engine based on equations.  If a student needs any type of equation, from math to art, WolframAlpha would be the search engine to use.  This website would be greatly beneficial to any student having trouble in math or science.

2.  Sweet Search is a search engine your students can use to search validated sources.  Everything found on this site has been validated by research experts.  This site would be a great resource when researching a research paper.

3.  Mamma can be used in two different ways.  This search engine can be used as a traditional engine or the student can modify it to search only local results and social media.

4.  If your students are researching people, pipl would be a good search engine to use.
www.pipl.com

5.  There is also a search engine directed toward students and teachers.  This website searches educational documents.  I think this website would be greatly beneficial to teachers.

6.  Students will also need to use videos in their research.  Blinx is a search engine for videos where students can also upload their videos.

7.  Ref Seek eliminates the advertisements which might distract your students.  Ref Seek is an academic search engine and document locator.

8.  The last search engine is for smaller children.  There is a special filter in this search engine so questionable websites will not be shown.  This is a perfect search engine for small children learning to find stuff on the internet.
