Children's Charity Goes Nationwide Online

Just for the Kids, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising academic standards and increasing student achievement in schools across the United States, selected a content management system from Stellent (www.stellent.com), Eden Prairie, MN, for its Web site at www.just4kids.org. The site is used to make public school information available to state education departments nationwide.

The Just for the Kids Web site initially provided school test data, teaching tools, research and other information to help improve public education in Texas. With expanded capability to include multiple states, the Stellent Content Management system allows employees and partners, such as state education agencies, to quickly and easily publish new content and add new states to the Web site. This ultimately helps educators improve and accelerate student achievement.

Using Stellent Content Management, Just for the Kids employees and contributors submit content to the Stellent Content Server through Web browsers. Content such as word processing documents, spreadsheets and graphics are stored in their native formats. The Stellent Content Publisher automatically converts this native content to a variety of Web formats, such as HTML, XML, PDF or WML, and automatically publishes the content to the Just for the Kids Web site. The system eliminates the need to route content to a webmaster for coding. Stellent Content Management relies on design templates to ensure a uniform look and feel throughout the Just for the Kids site.
