Is it wrong to finger yourself?

Posted on January 20, 2010 by primaryt

Google auto complete (even with safe search on) returns some pretty eyebrow raising results.. Are these results really appropriate for a classroom?

If you are looking for the same functionality as google safe search without the auto complete and adverts visit Safe Search

Difference between Kidrex and Primary School Safe Search?

Posted on December 10, 2009 by primaryt

I wanted to explain how Primary School Safe Search is different from Kidrex.

1. Primary School Safe Search does NOT display adverts.

2. Primary School Safe Search has a large database of websites it prioritises as search results meaning you are more likely to find the correct educational content.

3. Primary School Safe Search has a large database of websites that are excluded from search results, these include violent and explicit sites. These sites are not usually filtered with a standard safe search.

Both are built on Google CSE.

Safe Search design

Posted on October 12, 2009 by primaryt

I quite like the idea of doing a termly design for Safe Search and each week adding something “new” to it. I think it should hopefully get kids talking and paying a bit of attention when using the site..

Anyway, I added something today, can you spot what it is?

North Yorkshire County Council – E-safety Links and Resources – http://content.yudu.com/Library/A1dk37/esafetyApril09/resources/index.htm?referrerUrl=http://www.yudu.com/item/details/74728/e-safety–April-09-%3Frefid%3D18007 – This site is a selection of recommended sites to use to delivery E-Safety in schools.

Internet Safety @ Next Generation Learning – http://www.nextgenerationlearning.org.uk/At-Home/Internet-safety/ – Here you will find links to lots of resources on internet safety. The content is aimed at both home and school and has resources for parents and children.

E-safety week – http://www.esafetyweek.info/ – I love this idea. E-Safety can affect every aspect of our lives so to introduce it across an entire week seems fantastic. This site is made by Oldham and provides a framework for other LA’s to do similar exercises.

Primary School Safe Search – http://primaryschoolict.com/ – A google powered safe search engine that gets educational results more accurately. Great for setting as pupils and teachers home page. I like this site because it’s not so much a teaching resource as a learning aid.
