What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the differences between educational and entertainment web sites -- what they look like, what there is to do, whether they cost money. Ask kids what their favorites of each type are and/or ask them to think of some sites that have elements of both. Explore the topic of having a healthy media diet. Does your family have a comfortable balance? For more tips visit: Healthy Media Diet.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

Art and games -- what's not to love? For kids who enjoy learning along with playing, getty.edu/gettygames is a compelling destination. The games are well designed and some can be leveled from increasingly difficult to near impossible. The information about the art used in each game feels like just the right amount, and the printable crafts are interesting and do-able.
