Kidspace

About

 "KidSpace" is a on-line content management system, that allows teachers and students to collaborate in global projects by providing a wide range of easy-to-use features and functions. "KidSpace" makes it easy for students and teachers to publish and share their global dialogue on the web by creating webpages which contain images, sounds, short animations, text, and videos. 

Kidspace was created by Bonnie Thurber, Bob Davis and Patti Weeg (USA). It was later on rewritten in php by Grace Basilio (Peru),. Now it is  maintained and developed further by Stellan Kinberg (KA Chairman, Sweden). 

You find Kidspace at www.kidlink.org. It is created as a space for our students to publish their pages on. Look eg  at http://www.kidlink.org/kidspace/start.php?HoldNode=31582
