Best Practices For Designing Websites for Kids
David Morrison, Smashing Magazine, 7/6/11
Here is a short quote from the article:
"According to Jacob Nielsen’s research on teenagers, interactive website features (such as forums, mini-games, polls, ranking systems, competitions and 3-D interfaces) are valued by kids if they build a sense of community and foster participation. Bolting such features on will not likely prove effective, because kids will soon see the gaps and re-evaluate the website, despite any initial interest."
