GEN: media viewing

[james a mcginnisjenkins1 <jamrlw@NR.INFI.NET>]

Dear collegues,

        I am quite inteested in picking the collective brain of the
profession as how we, as parents and teachers  can use media viewing i.e,(
Mr. Rodgers, Sesame Street, cartoons- basic children's television  viewing)
in a positive way for kids. Also , how could we use this media viewing to
help kids develop critical thinking skills?
        I am interested in your ideas, thoughts, experiences, and comments.
I will post a hit on the replys. I am also interested in what you think are
the worst programs for kids on TV and why.

Thank-you
