The
International children’s Digital Library Foundation (ICDL) website was created
to support the world’s children in becoming effective members of their local
and global community while respecting and tolerating the diverse cultures,
languages, and ideas throughout our world.
ICDL drives to make the best in children's literature available online
free of charge. One key factor that
makes a website very useful to teachers is if they were free. Most public schools do not have the extra
money to pay for interactive materials so free materials is very important to
teachers. Another thing to note about
this site is that it is a government funded website so any content in the site
has been reviewed and filtered.
Even though
the primary audiences for the ICDL are children from three to thirteen years old,
children’s caregivers and educators as well as academics working in the field
of children’s literature are also targeted since it is these people that also
effect the literacy of a child.
This website is great for both students and educator because it has a large
collection of interactive books and their all free. I chose this website because of its goals in
helping a diverse audience accepting all cultures.
