There is a great TV show on Nickelodeon that teaches young children a little of e-Learning. The show is called iCarly (www.icarly.com). It’s not really a good show for young children, I would say for 6 years old and up. My 6 year old loves it.
It stars three young kids (maybe young teens) that produce a web show. There are two girls (Carly and Sam) that are best friends and their other best friend, Fred, is the technical producer. He loves all the tech stuff. It’s really cool for young kids. They do a lot of silly kid stuff and have a lot of fun making the show.
They show you how they make a daily web show and some of the cool things you can do with the computer. They encourage kids to read and post to their blogs and upload funny videos and photos. Fred is really good with producing the show; he has a lot of ideas.
Their web site has tips (videos) on how to create your own web show and how to make really cool videos. The TV show plays the web cast as they make it and shows the features of the video like fast forward and rewind. Both of my kids love the show and it encourages them to use technology and not to be afraid of it…it can be fun!!

Sounds interesting... when is it on?
Hum....I think it's 7ish. I know it's later in the day b/c of the age it markets. When I find out for sure, I will post it.
