  4. Joe Biden's birthday will fall on a Sunday, two days before JFK was assassinated.
    At first I had a brain fart and then I found the date on the calendar after I searched his biography.
    I learned that if I was to have a student search for Joe Biden's birthday, I would have to set up a detailed step by step process for the students to follow.

  5. I think making search engines specifically for children would be a good idea, I never thought of it being a problem. But some of the future ideas that are circulating sound like good ideas.
    I feel my internet search skills are average just by using key words and i feel if teachers educate their students on how to use search engines it shouldn't be a problem.

    3.i would start out something will similar basic because some students cant not stay on the same task as others. i agree with the ny times that a search engine for students will be usefull and understandable.
