The idea of this website is a great one--it allows you to create animations and work off of ones created by others. Creating animations is made very easy with DoInk. By being able to see the work of others, it's a good way to get ideas and inspiration. I think that children could have a lot of fun with this; however, the content of the site isn't very appropriate for young children in that some of the animations posted by others may be disturbing for them. There is even a minimum age of 13 to be able to use it. If DoInk were to make a kid-friendly site with this same idea, I think it would be a lot of fun. It's very interactive and allows for an endless amount of creativity and expression. It could be a great website for children to work on by themselves, with friends, or even family members. Once an animation is complete, it can be posted anywhere on the web. This would be great for a classroom blog or to share with family members.

You can do mobile uploads, file sharing, music, social networking, chat, and safe searching.KID smART's focus is arts integration-linking the arts with the existing academic curriculum. Arts Integration is an inquiry-based approach that lends depth to the learning process by using the arts to create new connections between content and the different ways children learn. The arts help our students to develop self-confidence, responsibility, security, and acceptance, gain respect and compassion for others, develop self-understanding, discipline and emotional control increase use of language and improve communication skills, increase abilities to solve problems creatively and independently foster curiosity, engagement, and enthusiasm for learning. Kidsmart focuses on creativity, innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, effective communication and collaboration.

This site is used primarily to share presentation slides, documents and PDFs for getting ideas from others who might have similar interests. SlideShare is most useful for an older age group such as high school or college students and businesses. This can also be used for young children such as when teaching numbers, colors, days of the week, months, seasons, etc.

Art Junction serves as a way for students and teachers to further their artistic abilities through the activities, projects, and resources offered on the site. It also allows for students, teachers, or other professionals to not only share their art but also their experiences in creating it. It offers ways for communities to work together for a certain cause, such as thinking of creative ways to help the environment. The blog is also up to date, informative, and full of good ideas.
