Student Friendly Search Engine

Wanted to share a newer student friendly search engine, SweetSearch: http://www.sweetsearch.com/

With Common Core requiring students to actively search the web for research. SweetSearch is the perfect place for student to start. It searches only the 35,000 websites that the staff of research experts and librarians and teachers have evaluated and approved. They constantly evaluate their search results and "fine-tune" them, by increasing the ranking of websites from organizations such as the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, PBS, and university websites.

SweetSearch helps students find outstanding information faster. It enables them to determine the most relevant results from a list of credible resources, and makes it easier for them to find primary sources. They exclude not only obvious spam sites, but also marginal sites that read well but lack academic or journalistic rigor. Just as important, the very best websites that are often buried on other search engines appear on the first page of SweetSearch results.
