RE: That’s Edutainment: Using The Simpsons as a Teaching Tool in the Classroom
What a great post! You did an excellent job of tying that all in. I think most kids grow up being educated by whatever television they watch. I know I learned more from Boy Meets World than I ever learned in my 4th grade classroom! I nominated you for Project Curie :)
Thanks! Great point. Kids are learning anytime they are awake. At least this way I can steer their learning a little bit. I actually learned from Brady Bunch reruns.
All those shows had great morals and positive messages. Hopefully the newer generation of shows can get back to that... I have my doubts though
My daughter just started watching a show called "Project MC2". It is all about teenage girls using their brains, science and math skills to save the world. I nearly cried when I saw it. It was so nice to see something that was telling little girls that their brains matter... and being good at math is awesome.
