What's it about?

The subjects featured at MEETMEATHECORNER.ORG are as unique and varied as the young directors themselves. Everything from healthy eating and politics to New York City living and Florida
strawberry fields is presented in short video form, along with other sources of information for more exploration. There are also
notices of upcoming video topics, video archives, and a store (to buy related material). To use the site, kids need a user name, password, and parental review and permission. Each video thumbnail contains the first name of the creator, the number of views its received, the length of the video, and place to provide a star rating.

Is it any good?

 

MEETMEATHECORNER.ORG offers kids a unique opportunity to learn video production skills like interviewing, creative storytelling, and public
speaking. Moreover, it allows kids to explore their own backgrounds and discover what other kids' lives are like. Most of the videos on the site are good quality, informative, and short enough to keep kids' attention. The extra links and contests are often fun -- though some parents may find the multitude of product tie-ins to the contests and store a bit much.

What families can talk about

Families can talk about topics your child can videotape and submit to the site. Do they know anyone famous or someone with an interesting job who they could interview? Is there something unique in your town that kids across the country and around the world might like to know about? What are some important rules about Internet safety for kids to remember when making a video, even on this site (such as not using your full name or name of your school)?
