Keep Safe Online by Taking The "KidzSearch Safety Pledge"

1.) I will never give out any personal information that can identify me online unless my parents say it is okay. Things like passwords, links to social media sites, cell phone or home number, current location, full name, credit card number, social security number, school name, and home address must never be given out. Other things, like your birthday or age are okay in certain cases, but it is best to keep that private.

2.) I will never post any personal information about another person unless my parents approve it. This includes giving passwords to your friend.

3.) I will never post any pictures or videos of myself or others without getting approval from my parents.

4.) I will never sign up for any online service without first checking with my parents or a person I trust.

5.) I will never ever meet in person with someone I met online. If your parents say it is okay, have them go with you and meet in a public place.

6.) I will immediately tell my parents about anything that made me feel uncomfortable while online.

7.) I will never download or install any computer software or apps without checking with a trusted adult.

8.) I will talk with my parents about how much time I can spend online and what websites or tools I can use. I will not allow the internet to interfere with doing homework or house chores, exercising/sports, or other important activities.

9.) I will be very careful texting or playing online games while outside to avoid possibly hurting myself or others. I will make sure to stay focused on what is around me, such as looking out for cars or bikes, or wandering into unfamiliar areas.

10.) I will always be polite and respectful of others and never post anything hurtful online, or do or say anything that I would not want to be said about myself.

Our Wikipedia for Kids search resource is located on the top of our new website for easy access along with our additional safe search tools.

Wiki for Kids is a filtered Wikipedia resource that provides articles in Simple English. It is similar to Wikipedia's Simple Edition with the added benefit that our site filters out content that is not appropriate for children and teens.

The internet is a very valuable and powerful tool, putting a world of information at our fingertips. The web has definitely changed the world, including the way kids do their research for school, homeschooling, or general curiosity.

We have partnered with the KidzSearch Wiki to safely meet these needs.

Students at home and in school need access to tools that are designed to provide results that are:

Safe - because potentially inappropriate images and text should be filtered out. It's a no brainer.

Readable - because it's good to widen your vocabulary, but new information should also be easy to understand instead of overwhelming for young children.

Accurate - because if there's ever a place that attracts misinformation, it would definitely be called the internet.

Those are three of the many reasons why parents and teachers have to do their own research before putting a child in front of the keyboard for some fun, modern learning.
About Wikipedia (Simple English Edition):

Wikipedia is a free open content online encyclopedia where people from anywhere in the world can contribute information on any topic in different languages. Wiki articles can be edited to make corrections as well. The Simple Edition of Wikipedia uses words and grammar that is ideal for children, and also provides a shorter more concise version of the original article.

Wikipedia is not considered a 100% credible source of authority information for academic research, because it has been created as an easily accessible index and/or textual condensation of primary and secondary sources for information about anything and everything.

Since Wikipedia can be updated by any person, at any time, parents and teachers should instruct children to confirm information through reliable sources.

Examples of reliable sources include published works, almanacs, guide books, survey articles, timelines, and user guides. A scholar may also use a bibliography, dictionary, or encyclopedia as either a textual condensation or a secondary source.

With that being said, Wiki for Kids can be a good starting point for 'easy to access' child-oriented research. While it's important that kids use a second source with more authority and credibility on the topic, Simple Wikipedia Edition is also great for young minds because:

The information you are researching will be there in one easy to navigate online encyclopedia.

It will definitely help you understand where you can look for more information on that topic.

Since the language (words and grammar) used is much simpler and easier to understand, Wiki for Kids is ideal for young children who are already learning something new and challenging.

So now that we've established the free benefits and expected limitations of Wikipedia, here is some information to help kids explore a topic.

Online Research Tips for Kids:

Anytime you write or publish information that you found online, you must include a citation for the original resource. Give credit where credit is due!

Cross check facts using multiple sources, and choose the most reliable source for your citation.

Avoid downloading any programs or images that you find online until you check with an adult first.

Learn about internet safety to keep from clicking links to inappropriate sites.

Advertisements on the internet are deceiving by design. You have not won anything!

Never give out your personal information on the internet.

When creating usernames, do not include like your name or birth date. This counts for giving out personal information.

When in doubt, ask for help!

Embrace safe learning!
