Making Sense

The launch of a big, brand-new learning guide has kept the Common Sense team busy this week, but we've also been talking about the latest music meme, a godfather of children's television, and entertainment's biggest awards show.

• It's here! We teamed with the experts and assembled nearly 100 apps for kids that need an extra learning boost.
• The fashion? The speeches? Seth MacFarlane? Whatever your reason for watching, the Oscars will be a hot topic this weekend.
• The newest meme in music video land has everyone doing the "Harlem Shake."
• Forty-five years later, Mister Rogers still sets the gold standard for kids' TV.
• Our founder and CEO Jim Steyer went on PBS NewsHour to talk about the link between violent video games and violent behavior.
