I know teachers and administrators who are hesitant to allow students on the internet because so many inappropriate images and websites can be so easily accessed by students, either on purpose or unknowingly. Sweetsearch.com is a search engine created just for students to use. When looking to use technology supported instruction, one should look at the program or software and ask if the program will "engage learners in extensive reading [and] support them in accessing curricular content (Cummins, 2007)? We already know computers engage students so as long as your assignment is aligned with your school curriculum, sweetsearch.com can help them access the information needed to complete it and do it safely.
