Google Custom Search  Google Custom Search is a wonderful way for you to provide your students with a safe and effective way to search for specific information. It does take a fair amount of time, however, for you to compile the URL addresses for the web sites you have previewed and want them to visit. BUT, that is the only downside to this search engine. It is very easy to set up and easier to use! Just think of the possibilities you can afford your students and the wealth of pertinent information you will gather from them!

In order to set up the search you must first have an email account, and sign up to use google accounts. That is the only way you will have access to the custom search engine. You do not have to have a gmail account any email account will do. Once you have signed up for access, you are all set to go. It is very easy to follow the online directions that google has for you to set up your search engines. Once you have it all set you can access your search engine at any time...so you can use it over and over again from year to year. How nice is that?

Here is a link to my tutorial on how to set this up and use it! Hope you enjoy using this custom search engine with your students.
