Recommendation:

This site is geared for children. With safety in mind, the site encourages the connection between children from around the world. Their creative endeavors are respected and displayed in a dynamic manner. Cultural learning is both implicit and explicit through the process of story and art sharing.

Description:

Kids´ Space provides reading, writing, music and art opportunities for students. Students can share their creative endeavors with others around the world. Create art and allow someone else to write a story to accompany it. Learn about others from around the world through their stories and messages. One of the goals of Kids´ Space is to "Make a difference in understanding people and ourselves. 1. Break down cultural, religious, ethnic and racial barriers between children of the world by promoting cross-cultural collaboration in creative projects. 2. Foster literacy, artistic expression, and cross-cultural understanding. 3. Encourage artistic expression utilizing a variety of mediums (art, writing, music)."

Possible uses:

Art classes can submit artwork to the site and wait to see if someone else writes a story to accompany their piece. Students can find artwork to write a story about. Students can write folktales, original stories or ones that fit in a suggested theme and then submit them for online publication. For reading practice, students can read stories others have submitted. Read about other countries in the global message relay or in the traditional costume area.
