"Bing For Schools will
offer schools in the US the option to tailor the Bing experience for
(elementary and secondary) students by removingadvertisements search
results, enhancing privacy protections and the filtering of adult
content, and adding specialized learning features to enhance digital
literacy," Microsoft's Matt Wallaert said in a blog post.
"The
programme is completely voluntary: schools have the choice of
participating or keeping the normal Bing experience. For those that opt
in, Bing will enable the experience acrosssearches within the school's
network on Bing.com, without any need for special software."
Wallaert
said Bing already offers the ability to filter out adult content but
the new services "will automatically default to the strict setting and
remove kids ability to change it."
