Last week a teacher at Washington Elementary in Salt Lake City told me about a kid friendly search engine called Ask Kids. 

The site describes itself as “a search engine designed exclusively for young people ages 6 to 12. It's a free, safe, fun way for kids and their parents to quickly and easily research school topics like science, math, geography, language arts, and history in a search environment that's safer and more age-appropriate than traditional, adult search engines.”
