Meet me at the Corner: A virtual Field Trip for 6 - 12 year olds

Thanks to a comment left in a post this afternoon, I just learned about a kid friendly site called
MEET ME AT THE CORNER. Children can have an interview with the Park Ranger at Balboa Park in San Diego, California, learn about the history of Balboa Park, the Pan America Exhibition, and a bit about the work of a park ranger.

Along with the original content created by the professional staff, MEET ME AT THE CORNER is open to kid- produced content. The current video was submitted by 11 year old Sam. How cool is that!! He interviews an animal behaviorist at the Denver Zoo. It is obvious that the episode was written and filmed by Sam but the MMATC staff did a great job of editing and adding photos and links to take the episode to a new level.

MEET ME AT THE CORNER, Virtual Field Trips for Kids is a series of educational video podcasts for kids ages 6-12. New episodes are uploaded every two weeks, with a Learning Corner of questions and extended activities, a list of recommended books and links to fun websites about each topic.

This is a great website for kids, parents, teachers and homeschool families.
