Kideos

While visiting the Kideo website, I found many great videos for children.  These videos can be separated by age group or be viewed all together.  This would be a great way to keep children entertained during free time.  There are many videos that will entertain your children while also being educational for your students or children.  I was not sure what kind of videos would be on the website but I was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety it shows on the website.  While in the classroom, you can use this video site for free time or for giving a good, relate able example that is kid-friendly.  A great way to grab students' attention is by showing a video to get them engaged in the lesson.  Kideo is divided up into many different categories that make it easy to find what you are looking for and have many options.  A downfall of this website is that, at the top, there are links to several different age groups, but they do not take you to a different page.  This is a bit of an inconvenience when you are looking for a certain age group and it pops up with all of the videos still.  Primary students are the target for this websites, but can also be useful for teachers and parents.  Ranging from ages 0-10 on the website, you will have to sift through the videos to find one that fits your needs.  I think if I had more time to explore this site I would use this at home (if I had kids) and in the classroom.
