Kids website launched by KY Secretary of State Grayson Site can be useful tool in civics for adults, too By Les FugateOffice of KY Secretary of State Trey Grayson As part of the 2010 Civics Month celebration, Secretary of State Trey Grayson announced the launch of a new kids' website which focuses on Kentucky and Kentucky Government. The"As part of our effort to reach more citizens and get them actively engaged in their communities and government, we recognized the need for more online resources for our young citizens," Secretary Grayson said. "This site will allow children to learn more about our great state in a fun and interactive way." TheThe site includes information about Kentucky and its resources including history, geography and regions, important industries, and places to visit. In one section, students can learn about famous Kentuckians and in another learn about the importance of agriculture, coal, and other Kentucky resources to the Commonwealth's economy. TheOne section of the website is dedicated to Kentucky government so that students can learn how Kentucky's laws are made. Here, students can learn about elected officials from the federal delegation, Kentucky's constitutional officers, and local elected officials in addition to the framework of Kentucky's law making process. With games, activities, and links to contests, there is also plenty of fun for students to have when they visit the site. A student can learn while engaging in fun activities that reference government or Kentucky.The website is part of a recommendation from the Civic Literacy Initiative of Kentucky (CLIK). CLIK is a multi-year effort that will determine a strategy for enhancing long-term civic engagement and civic literacy within the Commonwealth. As part of that effort, CLIK released a report, Rediscovering Democracy: An Agenda for Action, that calls upon the state to take tangible steps to increase civic literacy. The report, which details four principle recommendations and scores of additional recommendations, was developed from the work of the Kentucky Workgroup on Civic Literacy which Secretary Grayson chairs.
