Kidlink SEARCHERS

Kidlink has rich databases with valuable information you may use throughout the curriculum with your students. They are very easy to use. I will teach you here how to use the RESPONSE SEARCHER and you may use the same instructions to use all our other SEARCHERS.

Kidlink RESPONSE SEARCHER

  1. Go to the RESPONSE SEARCHER.
  2. Type the information you want the SEARCHER to find for you in the space provided in "Search for".
  3. In "Since" type the year you want to start searching. Ex: 1994 [Click Submit]
