This site is to help younger learners research things, and gives them a little easier and less complicated understanding of the web. This site targets K-8 grade students, and is a great source to use in a classroom or at home on your own. SweetSearch is a safe and reliable source for everyone, however it is extremely beneficial for kids and teens. It only searches sites that teachers, librarians and adults approve of, so it is not a dangerous tool to use. This site is extremely easy to navigate and is very specific and direct into what someone is specifically teaching.
Question 1: This site could be used in the classroom in many different ways. This would be a great opportunity to use as an introduction the the Internet and how to browse the web. Students could have "computer time" and all research something they are learning in class currently or research a specific topic that the teacher assigns.
Question 2: This site extends learning opportunities greatly in many ways, in and out of the classroom. Once taught how to use a computer, and given the site name, students could easily use this website at home to research and look up whatever they want. Parents can feel safe with their children using this site because it only provides information that is approved and acceptable. This is a great introduction for young learners and a great introduction to browsing the web!
