Conduct an Internet search to locate others. Watch and evaluate at least five children’s television programs using one or more of these evaluation tools.
What conclusions can you draw from the data you collected? Compare and contrast the content of each program.

What recommendations can you make to help families turn television into a positive learning resource for children?
Prepare a brochure for families outlining guidelines for the effective use of television with young children.
