KidsNet

With the growth of multimedia devices, and satellite dishes becoming as common as television itself was 30 years ago, the amount of material our children are exposed to is overwhelming. How does one tell what is good, and what is bad, how much is too much, and how much is too little. Today’s FamSite helps provide some of those answers.

Called KidsNet, it is a site that helps children, families and educators intelligently access the educational opportunities available from television, radio and multimedia sources. By combining the talents and resources of professional educators across the country, they produce several guides that help accomplish this goal. There are program ratings, media guides for preschool to high school, study guides to help students build on what they have watched, and a quarterly media news resource. The amount of material here can take some time go through, but once a visitor understands how the site is structured, it becomes an invaluable tool and aid.

So bookmark this site, and share it with your children, students, friends, and teachers. It is a site that is helps makes the Internet a fun place to learn.
