Kids on the Net at the Education Show, Birmingham, UK

Helen Whitehead of Kids on the Net will be giving a seminar at the Education Show in Birmingham on 1st March 2008.

If you're coming to the show why not come along and say hi?

Meanwhile - I'm looking for feedback from teachers and young writers who have used the site - to include in the seminar. Have you used Kids on the Net with your class or group? Have you used Adventure Island, written kennings or book reviews or any other writing? The Kids on the Net website is provided free to YOU. We need to attract sponsors so it can stay that way. To that end, can you help me promote it at the Education Show? Can you help with any of the following:

1) Some comments via email from the children about how they enjoyed the writing project and what they felt they learned. (include first names and year group, which should be perfectly safe privacy-wise)
OR (better)
2) Some comments recorded on a sound recorder (audio files) of children answering the same questions (first names could be included, again). It would be nice if I could publish these on the site, and I think there's probably no problem with audio as privacy is maintained.

The following options would require more permission from parents etc.:
3) Videos of the children talking about the project (this could be strictly for use at the seminar and with other private teacher groups, or we could ask for permission to use them on the Kids on the Net teachers' website)
4) Best option of all - bring a small group of children to the Education Show to talk at the seminar about how you and they worked on the project.

Alternatively I would be very pleased to welcome any teacher to the Education Show to join me at the seminar and say how you worked with Kids on the Net and how you felt the children got on.

Please let me know by email to info@kidsonthenet.com

I'm happy to answer any questions.
