TIME for Kids
Common Sense Media says
Terrific news/info resource boosts brain power.

QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this site, which supplements the TIME for Kids magazine, is a safe and wonderfully eye-opening place for kids to hang out online. Although there are versions of the TIME for Kids magazine for grade-schoolers, the site is more for tweens and up since articles give frank facts (while leaving out disturbing details) about things like political assassinations and social injustices.
What's it about?
The online counterpart to the TIME for Kids magazine, TIMEFORKIDS.COM presents news in a format and writing style that's appealing and accessible to kids. The site is also a homework and research resource -- the Homework Helper section offers facts, articles, and activities in a variety of subjects, and the Writing Help section provides tips and tools for writing essays, reports, and news articles. There's also a selection of games that require some brain power and occasionally a bit of research.
Is it any good?
Articles are written in a simple, direct, and unbiased voice, and the colorful presentation makes it fun for kids to learn about everything from the latest political crisis to the most recent Hollywood blockbuster. This is a valuable resource that helps build kids' awareness of the world around them and could help them develop a social and political consciousness -- or expand that consciousness, if they've already developed it.
Online interaction: You can send a letter to the editor which might be published on the site.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about current events and issues and how they affect our lives. Do you understand everything that was said in the news articles you read? How might they affect you or your family personally? Do you have an opinion regarding the issues you've read about?

KOOOOOOOL!**
This is a good magazine. I am glad that the popular "TIME" magazine has made a series for minors. It keeps many people updated on politics, weather, and great book/ magazine reviews. You will be glued to it. Time For Kids is also subscribed to many elementary/ intermediate schools. This will lead to many discussions around students. Time for kids also has many writing/ journalism contests.This gives kids great practice and opportunities to look forward to in the future. Overall, I give this magazine 5 stars. I would like everyone to read at least one issue.

Last night members of the acta.net.nz coalition,
including representatives from Creative Freedom
Foundation NZ, InternetNZ, and NZOSS attended an
evening function with many of the foreign negotiators,
along with other industry stakeholders.
Everyone we talked to had read the Wellington Declaration.
Their views
on it varied, but it appears to have made an impact. goog line.....
