As brightly colored leaves begin to fall and my mug is full of pumpkin spice coffee, I wanted to discover some new educational content for my 3rd grade daughter on Youtube. Parents everywhere are complaining about the addiction to technology and screens – me included. One of my goals for the rest of this year is to embrace technology and use it wisely- in other words, no mindless games!
This list of shows will provide about an hour of entertainment to an elementary student. In our case, my daughter paused each video and wrote a few sentences about what she learned. The final video that she watched led to several additional pages of art. Enjoy!
