Because of the age variance of the Kidlink participants, teachers of the gifted and talented can align their students with others who are working at the same level. Certainly, advanced vocabulary use of other students can be observed and responded to by the gifted and their like peers. Gifted teachers can use the Kidlink audience to motivate students to spend special time on their writing. Spelling and grammar usage at a higher skill level can be developed and modeled by the other Kidlink participants. In journal writing, international dialog among students from other English speaking countries can take place.
Gifted students can develop an awareness of global perspectives on current or important issues.
Additionally, Kidlink can serve as an electronic system for further developing the research skills that they are using in the language arts classroom. Sharing research information and allowing other kids from Kidlink to share their research knowledge on a given topic would be yet another valuable source for them. Teachers could use already created projects and adapt them to their gifted and talented classrooms. Kidlink is a wonderful avenue for creating and sharing ideas globally for both teachers of gifted and for the students themselves.
