Language: English Description: The aim of this guide is to introduce teachers and group leaders to modern kiting. Kites are not just "kids' toys" but a very valuable learning tool. Most students are too busy having fun with kites to realize that they are learning. Kiting can be a fun or frustrating experience depending on one's initial approach. For this reason teachers should introduce basic aerodynamics and kite-making skills before allowing the students to experiment on their own. There are excellent books on the subject of kite-making as well as poor ones. A bibliography and resource list has been included for those who want to pursue the subject further.
