KIDS AND THE WEB www.blablas.com
This project has three main aims:
- kids to learn more about the Information society they are part of, by the means of game and contest elements and using simple digital tools;
- kids to entertain while creating their hero works (stories, drawings, photos) and thus stimulating their autonomy and self-reliance;
- kids to build up their own communication point (Blablas website), where to show their works, to ask the questions they are interested in and to get the most accurate answers.
Blablas project has three main steps:
- The opening step is to build a website primary version and to announce the first hero contest – children choose their own hero (existing or imaginary), write a hero story and send it to Blablas;
- Second step is to organize one week workshop with 8 kids- authors of the 8 most interesting stories. During the workshop kids finish their stories, draw their heroes, learn how to behave in the NET(mails, sites, etc), how to make pictures with digital camera, how to listen music and watch a movie on the computer;
- Third step is to start building an edutainment portal, where Bulgarian children could learn, entertain and communicate!
