Why Use
Infotopia instead of Google?
1) Infotopia, a site created by school librarians for students
and their teachers, is a directory and search engine including only websites
recommended by teachers, librarians, and library and educational consortia.
2) Infotopia is a
Google custom search engine of selected sites, so you get reliable resources in
your search results, while still enjoying Google`s cool search features.
3) You can recommend topics for which you need information and
we will prepare new resources for inclusion on Infotopia.info
Attention: Teachers for Grades K-4
Are your students trying to do
online research and discovering that the resources are just too difficult for
their understanding? Our
website/search engine https://www.kidtopia.info
is designed to be age- and subject- appropriate for these students. Websites are selected only if
recommended by teachers and librarians for these levels.
If you need additional resources, please let us know. Many of our resources were developed
based on requests from teachers and librarians.
