CPE, Meeting Room B
May 23, 2000
Present: Susan Brown, Barbie Hardy, Diane Culbertson, Miko Pattie, Michael Dailey, Jan Ross, Blenda Fields, Becky Stephens, Melissa Gibson, and Teri Weil
The group discussed the purpose of the group and the project. They agreed that such a project was needed in Kentucky because, while there are many individuals doing such work for their libraries, there is no coordinated site that serves P-5 population of the whole state. It was decided that KCVL for Kids will be patterned after KCVL for Teachers.
Our Goal: To build a quality resource portal to support Kentucky's P-5 students
The Plan:
- Technical Infrastructure
- We will use the existing KCVL server. We have not decided on a platform at this time.
- Organization of Resources
- It was decided that the resources will be based on the 7 core content subjects established by KDE and further divided by levels (Primary=K-3 and Intermediate=4-5).
- Resources
- Resources shall include Kentuckiana, databases, tutorial, and external webpages.
Content Organization
Interface
- Websites:
-free fulltext sites educational sites about history
- Tutorial
- Databases
- Kids submitted area:
-book reviews written by kids -website reviews written by kids- Teach students about Kentucky Government
- Area for Parents:
-net safety
-how to use the internet with your children
- Core Content (7 areas) use this especially for the websites and the databases
- Levels: Primary and Intermediate
- Project Based: science fair project
- General Reference
- Have theme graphics
- Use larger font
- Use a Mascot
- Make it look similar to the main KCVL page so that the step between the two is not difficult
- Kids create a logo-have a competition for it
- Identification & Evaluation
- Mike Dailey will use File Maker Pro to design a form (based on Barby Hardy's form) that will organize recommended websites and that can be posted in HTML format. In addition, ITLS will be recruited to serve as subject specialists to recommend websites. KCVL will provide some training on how to evaluate websites at ITL University July 19-21. II.
Assessment: We will develop an online evaluation form for students and parents to let us know how useful these resources are.
