N is for Netflix Educational Videos

I'm currently participating in 

an ABC's for homeschooling challenge.  

Since it falls on Tuesdays, 

I am adding a technological slant to the challenge.  

I hope you stay tuned and enjoy my entries.

 

 

Stream educational videos through a computer.

 

Out of so many things I enjoy in life, watching movies is at the top.  When I am stressed,  I like to wind down with a good movie.  Sometimes, I like to watch documentaries.  Sometimes, a romantic comedy does it for me.  No matter what the mood, I can often find a movie that will make me feel better.

 

Netflix offers movies of all sorts.  I love this service.  There is no one- or two-year contract.  You pay per month.  You can stream the movies online or rent physical DVDs that come to your house through snail mail.  

There is a wide variety of movies available.  I like that you can save movies in a queue.  I have about 300 movies saved in my queue.  There are several ways you can watch the movies.  You can view the movies through the internet via the computer, a Blue Ray DVD player, Roku or even the Wii.  

My youngest enjoys watching Blue's Clues on Netflix.

My six year-old likes watching shows like Blue's Clues, Leap Frog: Letter Factory, and Cyberchase (a show from PBS).  I love these series.  They are educational.  They are available through Netflix.  They are easy to access through the internet.

 

Thanks for reading this entry.  I hope I've provided a different way to teach your children with the use of Netflix.  This websites provide a visual way to learn ABCs and 123s.  Documentaries of all sorts are also available, such as for the Middle Ages and World War II.  There is one caveat: Rates for Netflix are changing so be on the look out; it's still cheaper than cable.

 

 

Next week, I will be covering the letter O.  Stay tuned!

How about you, my readers?  Do you have a subscription to Netflix?  Would you use Netflix videos to teach your children?  I believe in using educational videos to teach children the topics they need to learn, especially the beginning concepts like those in Blue's Clues.  I encourage you to expose your children to education through technology.

I pray that God gives you all, my beloveds, His wisdom and peace.
