Here's Liz Atwood with this week's Tween Tuesday

Most of the time, I’m trying to get my boys to put down the video games and log off the computers and connect with the real world. But I recently came across a tween website that your kids may enjoy. Called Kidsvuz the site is designed to let tweens share videos and reviews of toys, books, games and shows.

Two mom bloggers, Rebecca Levey and Nancy Friedman, came up the idea as a way to give kids a safe and easy place to share their views on everything from Harry Potter books to Ugg sneakers. The site launched earlier this month and is monitored by a panel of parents.
Kidsvuz includes:

• An integrated webcam so kids can record their videos while they sit at their computers
• A film school that teaches kids how to make videos
• Social media features that lets kids create communities based on shared interests

If kids are going to spend time in front of the screen, it makes sense that they do so with a site that is safe and challenges them to think a little.
