Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    By watching the posted videos and exploring their related links and activities, kids can learn all sorts of interesting facts about cities, farms, careers, and myriad school-related subjects. Many kids who like to create their own videos will find that this site makes it easy for them to upload video. Kids also learn the process of submitting a work and having it approved (or not), and then seeing it improved upon by the site's management by adding appropriate links and other related educational materials.

  • Messages:

    Helps kids relate to other kids in different places through sharing their life experiences.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Banner ads. A tab called MMAT Children's Store sells many products related to the videos in association with Amazon.com. Many of the site's contents are sponsored by a business or organization.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
