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.

Web2 Primary School go go magic arms

Due to the success of the etherpad on schools web2 services I decided to create a searchable engine. It’s very easy to use, check it out here.

Schools Web2 collection (or something)

It’s nothing fancy, don’t expect much other than a simple way to find the right service for you. If it’s wrong then let me know. If you want to be able to search by subject, year etc. then please get in touch!!

Troubleshooting Google Apps and Shibboleth

Posted on November 24, 2009 by primaryt

If you receive an “invalid email” error or invalid user then this is probably due to the fact that the username provided by your identity provider doesn’t match the username created in Google Apps. To remedy this check to see if the user account exists in Google Apps, if so then contact your identity provider and ask them to tell you what username they are sending so you can create the relevant account.
