Information about Teen Internet Use

Together we can help keep our students safe on the Web! 

Search engines aren't just for curious adults. A growing number of "kid safe" search engines use Internet filtering technology to prevent Web sites with pornographic or violent material from appearing on a list of results. Some are maintained by a staff, often composed of librarians, who continually monitor the sites that pop up in searches to verify that their content is fitting for students.
