Great for generating interest in learning
Community Review for PBS Kids
My Take
I am of the age where I was in my kindergarten and 1st grade years when PBS kids first became popular. I remember watching shows like Wild kratts, Sid the science kid, word girl, and cyberchase. I am excited to see that this educational tool has been converted to a website format. I liked that the system is fun for kids. Everything seems like a cartoon and kids do not realize they are learning.
How I Use It
This resource seems like a phenomenal way to get students interested in Learning. For example, preschool and kindergarten students learning addition often can get distracted from learning. Through PBS kids, an educator in a preschool or kindergarten setting can play one of their educational videos and have the class follow along. This may alleviate pressure that an overworked teacher may face and allow them to concentrate on individual students needs in a large class environment.
