New Sesame Street Website Launches

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I just heard about a new Sesame Street Official Website called SesameStreet.org. It is a great website for fans and parents/caregivers of fans of Sesame Street. The site is full of things to do and information about Sesame Street.

One of the best features of the site is Play Safe mode, which is easily activated from the top of game and playlist pages. Once clicked they can only do things on the games or playlist part of the site and cannot navigate to anywhere else on the web. It is deactivated by holding down Alt+ P+S. This sounds like a great thing to allow you to let preschoolers play without having to keep such a close eye on the computer screen while they play. Unfortunately, this only currently works for Windows users using Internet Explorer. I hope they it make Mac (I grew up on Macs and still only use them) compatible soon, especially if they do it for Firefox.

One main section of the site is the Games section. This area has about 400 flash mini games and 90 full games. That is a lot of play time if you like Sesame Street. Yes, they are often educational along with being fun just like the show, so you do not have to feel too guilty letting the kids play them regularly.

Another main area is Videos. This section has many Sesame Street segment videos that you can watch anytime. You can look for them by subject, theme, character, and songs. There is even a Classic Clips section.

The Playlist section brings together games and videos to create interactive preschool education units. There are several different units that have video clips and games that work together to teach the unit’s theme.

One last interesting feature of this site is My Street, which is a customizable page. This page lets you create your own Sesame Street home page adding your favorite videos and games from the site. Note that you do have to register to do this.

TV on DVD

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. Thanks to the wonderful sinus headache that I’ve been sporting all day, looking at a computer screen and trying to type is about one step away from torture.  Instead of sitting here trying to make my head explode, I’ll encourage you to stop by and check out the list of Retro TV on DVD that The Lovely Mrs. Davis has compiled and is sharing with her own kids.  She has some great titles on there, including some that I would love to add to my own dvd collection.

Imagination Movers Move In On Disney

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

The Imagination Movers, an upbeat children’s musical group, can now be seen on Playhouse Disney and on Playhouse Disney Online.  Five new Movers music videos began airing in April, and a Playhouse Disney TV show is currently in development.  The Movers - Rich Collins, Scott Durbin, Dave Poche, and Scott “Smitty” Smith - describe their music as Alt Rock for kids and hope to teach kids about the importance of exercising both the body and the brain. They use creative problem-solving skills to address challenges that kids face in everyday life.

I’m thinking the Imagination Movers could give The Wiggles and The Doodlebops a run for their money. Check out the video below and let me know what you think.

Tot TV Links 5-11-07

Friday, May 11th, 2007

I thought I would try something new today on the blog. Since I don’t have the time to write about every little tidbit of Tot TV news I find (and since other people have already written it better than I could anyway), I have decided to do a weekly links roundup. My goal is to make this a regular Friday feature. I would love some feedback on this, so after you are done checking out the links below please leave a comment and let me know if you like it or not and why.
