Kids.gov

While reading through the e-gov readings for this week I spent time exploring the USA.gov site, which by the way has the potential of becoming a great tool to use to find everything in one place. Of course I was very interested in the links for kids, teens and educators. There is indeed great information here, not just for teaches to use, but beneficial to the kid and teen users as well. Teens can find out about driving and student aid policies and resources on many topics. Kids.gov has many features and resources for kids to use and explore. One feature links to the various state government pages for kids, but in looking at Georgia's I found that is was just horrible. If we want these type of information sources to survive and be useful they need to first provided access to beneficial information and second, be update with some frequency.
