Where Fun and
Learning Click!
Building on PBS's successful slate of
children's television programs and online offerings, CPB has invested
in a new generation of safe, engaging and educational destinations
on the Internet, a place where more children are spending more of
their time. The goal of the sites is to provide local public television
stations with content to reach out to a new audience, 9-12 year
old kids.

Don’t
Buy It
This site challenges kids to question
advertising, evaluate media and become smart consumers. Using
humor, games and advertising parodies, Don't Buy It "sells"
media literacy to youth ages 9-11. Kids can craft ads and
place them in sneaky places, design cereal boxes, take quizzes
that reveal startling snack and TV truths, and learn about
pesky Web advertising. Parents and teachers can download their
own guides from the site as well. [More] |
