Tellecollaborative Learning


Kidlink is a collaborative link which all children get together all over the world, well anyone that is 15 and under. Can submit projects, chat, write information about themselves(Who am I pages) to meet new friends. This is how it works... A child, a class of students, and adults register by answering four basic questions and send them in. Each registration is checked by a human. Upon approval, a confirmation is sent them containing a personal nickname and password needed to access Kidlink's private services.

Once registered, users are invited to join Kidlink's various activities, including interactive discussions, and educational projects. They are also challenged to become volunteers and run own projects

Discussions and collaborations between kids take place through various Kidlink channels, ranging from KidComp Discussion rooms, kidspace communication and publishing platform, public mailing lists to form-based publishing, collaboration and interaction channels (like kidart and web page forms). Some are public, and others are only available to registered members.

I think i'd use this program in my classroom for discovrvy of other culturre and display other artwork and also a lot of comparisson. I picked this website because it also has a teacher infromation site which you and others (teachers) can communicate with others about how you embrace technology. I think this is a great website which I'd totally embrace. I also really like how the applications are looked at by a human and then choosen if they are acceptable to kidlink.
