Kids & Community

URL Address: http://myapa.planning.org/kidsandcommunity/

Summary: Kids and Community is a web site for elementary students, created by the professional and educational association for America’s city planners. The website explores how to create communities, how you live in them and how you change them. Additional activities include a book corner (with reviews), scavenger hunt and picture gallery.

Commentary: Resources and information from the website is cited, with a detailed, narrative statement about the authors qualifications and context. There are no specific dates or copyrights documented to verify that the site is up to date. It is free of advertisements and contains a logical organization and form. The website is not entirely interactive, although multiple ideas for critical thinking activities centered around communities are provided.
