On Monday, kids and parents can learn how to get to Sesame Street on their computers.
The newly revamped SesameStreet.org is the result of two years of research and development by Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind the TV series on PBS.
The site will be updated each day with a different theme (“the number 5,“ for instance) introduced by a live action Muppet host, who also points out each of the buttons to help children learn how to use the site. The site will include games, new and classic video clips, child-friendly navigation, and a “Playsafe” mode that will let parents keep their children on the site without navigating off the page and elsewhere on the Internet.
The site will also include a new “Parents Section” with articles on subjects such as potty training, teaching healthful habits, and helping children cope with traumatic experiences.
The site coincides with the season premiere of Sesame Street, which is shown on UNC-TV.
