In order to take part in any KIDLINK activity students have to answer the four  Kidlink questions 

Who am I?  
What do I want to be when I grow up?  
How do I want the world to be better when I grow up?  
What can I do now to make this happen? 

If you intend to participate in KIDFORUM topics, you have to be subscribed to KIDFORUM list. You do this by sending message: 

SUBSCRIBE KIDFORUM (first name second name) 
to: LISTSERV@LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU  

Language 

We have been discussing the possibility to have KIDFORUM topics run in several languages simultaneously. We tried to find the best solution for translating kids' messages, because we think that "every" kid must understand what messages say. Since there has not been any discussion on this subject among teachers, taking part in KIDLINK activities, we decided to wait for some more time.  
 

Dialogue 

We would like to remind you that KIDFORUM is based on the idea that getting kids around the world to talk to each other will allow them a direct experience with friends having the common experience of childhood but often in very different circumstances (from KIDFORUM CHARTER). As a forum it has a purpose to organise a dialogue among classes or among groups of kids. We advise you to discuss the topics within your class and than send one message to KIDFORUM list. During the topic kids from other schools will ask you questions, so please take care of responses, which have to be sent to KIDFORUM list as well.  IRC meetings 

This year we are going to have scheduled chats on current KIDFORUM topics. In order to be able to take part in IRC meetings, you have to be registered. Participation 

We would like to ask you to send the Registration Form for the topic you would like to take part in to the moderators of the topic. You can send it before the topic starts, as well as later, but before you join the topic. Restrictions on posting 

KIDFORUM list is intended as a forum for kids. Adult postings are not allowed. The exceptions are messages sent by the manager, her assistant and the moderators. 
Teachers and others, who would like to ask questions or discuss the topic, may send their messages to KIDLEADER.  New ideas for topics 

We have already started to prepare the schedule for the year 1996/97. If you do have the ideas for new topics, please feel free to send them to: 
KIDFORUM Manager Tor Arne Richvoldsen  
Eydehavn School, PO BOX 100 
N4810 Eydehavn, Norway 

I hope that you will find some interesting topics to join! 

Take care.....
So long, Tor Arne
