Writing Children's Fiction, Introduction to the Internet
for Writers, and Web Design Workshop. Plus our continuous

Kids
on the Net
A site for young people featuring writing by children at
home and at school all over the world. We encourage submissions
of poems, stories, and contributions to our Friends, Opinions
and All About Me pages. We promote creativity and collaboration
online as well as the use of the Internet to encourage reading
and writing. Our biggest collaborative projects are Dragonsville,
Kids' Castle - based on Nottingham's castle in 1480, with
various writing activities - and Monster Motel (the latter
two designed by Mark Burgess and the Castle written by Philip
Ardagh). We also work with libraries, communities, teachers
and schools on- and off-line to create web-specific writing
projects such as Daisy and the Intergalactic Travelling
Salesmen or Planet of Dreams hypertext stories and creative
websites involving whole schools. The eTeachers'
Portal provides resources and downloadables
to support use of the site within the National Literacy
Framework.
