Bright Rain Solutions and I put together a fun little project called Kids Map It and we’d be glad if you took a peek at it and let us know what you think. Please spread the word about if you think it could be useful for the little ones in your lives or in educational programs that you help with.
Warning: It might go down. It’s on a free instance.
Goal: Our goal was to make something so easy that the youngest could use it (drag and drop!) but with a detailed enough map for everyone’s needs. It’s bright, but not garish, and intentionally devoid of the complexity of other sites. We had one job! (And hopefully achieved it though feature enhancements are in the works.)
Caveat: It’s early days on this so please let us know what needs to be better!
