Hi,
I am asked to inspire children (age 8-10) with a seminar about internet. I thought to use 'internet and movement' as a leading idea and are looking for nice examples of movements on the net.
Anything that is moving in a creative and inspiring way
If you have suggestions, please feel free :)Thanks in advance.

why not a kid oriented site like www.cubixrobotsforeveryone.com something that the little tykes can relate to.
You gotta be careful though. I remember when gobots were busted imitations of Transformers. You can't just roll in there with a Powerpoint of gobots and expect the kids to get hype.

not an answer to your question, but:
inspring children to use the internet is like inspring kids to sit in front of the television.
we should inspire children to read for christ's sake.
i do think kids should be moderately introduced to the computer. however no internet until jr. high at least.
the internet is just not a place for 8 year olds.

Hey Kristian,
I used to teach guitar lessons to children, and I also did a workshop teaching the relationship between music and art to children.
The most important thing to teach children about any subject matter is that there are no limitations. Expose them to your ideas about the internet, and ask them theirs, let them build their own ideas about what it can be, then show them what other people wanted it to be.
Teaching children is a great responsibility, and really the only thing you can teach them is not to dislike something. Let them imagine the world, and one day like you and I they will create it. Never tell them what the world, or anything is. It's always "what can be, if you try hard enough".
I hope that helps.
