The KIDS Report subscription page provides both manual and automated online instructions detailing how to subscribe and unsubscribe. Currently, the KIDS Report is sent via e-mail to approximately 1,000 readers. Successes Over 45,500 hits and approximately 1,000 subscribers in one year. Students determined the selection guideline criteria. Students decided on the name for the publication and have input on the graphics and fonts used in each issue.
Students also select the sites that they evaluate and write the annotations in their own words.
KIDS provides an innovative and unique resource to the K-12 community. An archive of quality, annotated sites, built by students in K-12 classrooms using their own criteria, is now available on the Web. Positive responses from young people, teachers and other readers tell us that KIDS is on the right track. I was gratified to find the criteria on which students are being asked to judge sites are pretty much the same criteria I apply in creating Web modules. I was looking for an informative and creative way to get my children and their friends interested in the Internet.
