Web 2.0 on Nickelodeon
In this New York Times article Nickeldeon is bringing the read/write web on air, by devoting some of their airtime to the on-line creations of children. Though there is the potential for educational programming created by children, I think idea is trying to link up one form of media to that whcih will soon replace it.

Thanks for sharing this Nickelodeon post Jo...very interesting and very appropriate to our work in 307.
I'm glad that television programs, especially those for children, are focusing on active educational learning, like what you mentioned with Nickelodeon. So many shows try and be educational, but kids are still just sitting in front of the television with a blank expression as they do not participate with their learning. At least with what you mentioned, kids can take an active role when engaging with the television.
Let's hope that more programs start having interactive learning involved. And by the way, what do you think about Dora the Explorer, with this concept?
