Parents need to know that this Web search engine from Google is limited to scholarly works and contains no ads. There's no inappropriate content, but the material indexed is too challenging for younger users.
Google is an inappropriate searcher. There is so many bad and insecure pictures! If found a pic that had so many bad words! And really it's iffy for my age. When it comes to Google you have to watch out.
It is Just a search engine, kids use it all the time and it is apprpritae for ages:6-older beacause it is like bing yahoo, or msn so let your kids go on any search eingene they want.
Google is the biggest search engine and anyone can use it. No concerns, no ads, no bad language, no drugs, no violence. The highlight is that it's great for work and school.
If you trust that your chilsd will not google innapropriat things then by all means allow them to use google. If not, then no! This has nothing to do with your childs age, it has to do with how much that you trust your child. If you say to a 7 year old, "When you're 12 you can go on Google." That makes no sense because there are many 7 year olds that can handle the responsibility of Google, and many 12 year olds that can't. So, just ask yourself, do you trust your kid.
I wish I had this resource back in high school and college writing papers. So tedious it was spending money on copy machines, micro fiche, going to the library, buying cliff notes, etc....really helps expedite the process. Amazon tries to compete with their resources and reviews on books. the eBay great solution dot com will help with free reviews, resources, tips.
Google scholar is one of the best sites to use when it comes to research. The advanced search is great, it really narrows things down, but the site isnt for everday research, its more for articles and papers that you may find in libraries. Its one of the best sites Ive been on for a long time.
I think that it doesn't really mater about the age it maters about how much you trust your kids. Google doesn't block any language, or inappropritate user content, or sexual behavior.
My parents says "don't say bad words or search bad things or anything else bad,mad,sad or rocketory or mean or unnice if you're a kid or a young/mature teen! it's not good for you!"
