KidLib - Educational Options (Premium Service)


Can we make our own KidLib screens?

Your KidLib Premium licence lets you follow any learning management system you like, including curriculum guides,
such as the following set for Grade Seven History (Ontario).

Can we only access geography sites in our Geography classrooms?

Yes, with KidLib, you can break out or focus on sets of sites for a subject, a learning unit or even a classroom. Full subscribers can get dedicated WebSearchers that only access subject sets, or even grade sets of links.

Can we add our own school sites?

Certainly. You can add any sites you want and need, including curriculum goals, information for parents and guardians, student portfolios or homework tips.

What about languages other than English?

We can work with you to serve non-English sets of sites, or produce bilingual sites as well.

Can we lock our personal sites from ouside viewing?

Your KidLib sites are not available to outside viewers. You may choose to make your sites or sets of sites accessible from home or externally by student or staff number or bar code.

What about controversial sites?

Absolutely. The advantage of KidLib is that you can add custom sites on a "narrowcast "basis - i.e. only to classes you choose. If for example, you have a senior class studying racism, and you have a list of sites you want them to study, we give you the tools to set up a custom WebSearcher that only accesses a narrow choice of sites that can be used to study such a subject, even from a single machine.

What about indexing our sites?

We provide you with common indexed sites, but we also we have options whereby your complete set of sites can be indexed regularly.

What's the benefit of EduPost?

Spam, or unwanted email, has become a major problem in schools, and a vehicle for the delivery of viruses, and illegal, dangerous, annoying or distracting content. KidLib's optional EduPost service gives your school or district a extra private email universe where only persons on your list can email other persons on the list. EduPost's spam-busting features block all other entry to your system. NOTE: You can opt not to use EduPost, relying on your own internal email system.
