Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group Launch myNoggin website for preschool educational learning
Am I out of the loop? I just got word about a new website that will target preschoolers. Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group is launching myNoggin this November. It is a fee/subsciption based website with educational games for children ages 3-6 and their parents. The games support and follow school curriculum and are guided by national standards for preschool education.
According to an article in CNN money, "myNOGGIN features simple icon-driven site navigation and game-based learning that gives the sippy cup set a fun way to learn math, literacy, and languages in a completely engaging environment."
I tried a demo game. It seemed a little advanced for a three year old, but the games do adjust to the child’s level of development. I did like that myNoggin is ad free, user/child friendly and utilized vibrant colors. Are preschoolers really online? I know that kids are being introduced to computers at an earlier and earlier age but are computer based education now used in preschools and are computer skills now part of the preschool curriculum? Is online curriculum based play the newest wave in education? Your thoughts?
