1. WolframAlpha
This site was recommended to me for this assignment. My first thoughts when I visited this site was that it is bright and welcoming. In the left hand corner of the page it says, "Give your brain a quick workout with Wolfram Problem Generator." With this site, you can enter anything you want to calculate or search any general wondering that you have have. When you type something in the search bar, it gives information in depth about the subject. Instead of giving links to other sites for the information, the information is automatically there to read and learn. This site is great for kids because parents or guardians do not have to worry about what type of site links could come up when searching something. The information is there and the site does not take you to any other sites.
2. Bing
Bing is comparable to Google. Many reviewer opinions argue that Bing is better than Google, but that is one's opinion. When on the home page of this site, the top of the screen has a list of things you can search or view. The list has options to search like: images, videos, maps, news, or even history. At the bottom of the home page it shows events, news, or people that are trending. When you type a subject in the search bar, it takes you to images and links to view and learn about the subject you choose. The links that Bing gives you are links to other sites.
3. Ask
Ask is one of my personal favorites of search engines. It is a simple viewed site but is very user friendly! I like search engine because when you have a question, you can simply type in your question as if asking a human. Ask will respond with an answer to your question as well as other sources and links to continue learning about your question. So, anytime you have a question, just ask Ask!
4. DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo is another search engine that has a simple homepage. It has a picture of their mascot, a cartoon duck. Directly under their search bar it says, " the search engine that doesn't track you." If you are an Internet searcher that does not want to be tracked, this is the site for you. This search engine like many others, give you links to other sites to read and learn about the topic you desire.
5. Dogpile
Dogpile is a a site that gets the results of your search from Google and Yahoo. Therefore, you can find or search anything you would on Google and Yahoo and receive the same results.
6. Yahoo
Yahoo is a very busy site. When you go to this site, there is news and weather. The information is very big and right in your face. There are many images and activities to click on. Yahoo is like Google without actually being Google. Yahoo can be very overwhelming, especially if you are unsure what you want to search. The search bar is easy to fine at the top of the page but the rest is very busy and seems chaotic. There are many sites to click into and seems to be unending.
7. Dictionary
Dictionary is a great search engine that I find myself using a lot. It is great for looking up a definition to a word or phrase. It's a quick and easy way to get the exact definition of a word. The information given even uses the word in a sentence for you to understand how it is used. This site also has the use for a thesaurus, translator, Spanish dictionary, and many more useful things.
8. iSEEK
iSEEK is an education search engine. This website targets users such as students, teachers, administrators, and caregivers. It expresses on the homepage that the search engine is safe, authoritative, intelligent, and time-saving. When you search a topic on this site, it gives links to supported sites that will also lead you to learn about your topic.
