Ensuring that middle and high school students conduct safe and effective internet research is crucial in today's digital age. Here are several age-appropriate resources and strategies to assist students in navigating the online research landscape safely:

Safe Search Engines and Educational Websites:

Utilizing search engines and websites designed with students in mind can help filter out inappropriate content and focus on educational material. Here are some recommended platforms:

• National Geographic Kids​
• Ducksters​
• Britannica School
• Time for Kids​
• Library of Congress
• DocsTeach

Evaluating online resources

It's essential for students to critically assess the credibility of online information. Here are key factors to consider:

• Currency: Check the publication date to ensure the information is up-to-date.​�
• Relevance: Ensure the content directly addresses the research topic.​�
• Accuracy: Verify the information against reputable sources.​�
• Authority: Consider the author's qualifications and the website's domain (.edu, .gov, etc.).​�
• Purpose: Understand the intent behind the content, whether it's to inform, persuade, or entertain.

Digital citizenship

15

Educating students on responsible online behavior is crucial. Resources like Common Sense Media offer comprehensive guides and curricula on digital citizenship, helping students understand how to navigate the internet safely and ethically.
