Searching Tools for Students

We recommend that students use the internet with the direct supervision and guidance of their parents and teachers. Further reading concerning helping children to use the internet safely is contained in the pamphlet, "Child Safety on the Information Highway" (1994); National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The entire pamphlet is available online at the SafeKids.com site.
