Take those Shows Down off Your Shelfie #StreamTeam

What is on your Shelfe?

Apparently those shows that you have been waiting to binge watch on are called your Shelfie. You’ve put them up on a virtual shelf waiting for that day when you can dust them off and consume. I didn’t know what they were called. Now I know. It is a great topic for this month’s Stream Team Alert. The Stream Team Alert is a writing prompt for members of the Netflix Stream Team. It seems like each month the alert is perfectly timed for what is happening in my life. Last month with those fun kids shows and then this month with the Shelfies. The reason that this means something for me is the show Longmire.

The main reason that I wanted to watch the show was for Katee Sackoff. I binged on Battlestar Galactica a year ago and wanted to watch everything that she was a part of.

But, this isn’t about me, this is about the kids and all the learning they will be doing while at school or more importantly how Netflix has some great shows to ignite their imagination and passion for learning. Yes, shows on Netflix. Netflix has a bunch of great shows for Science, Technology, Arts, Engineering and Math (S.T.E.A.M if you didn’t catch that). And two great new shows debuted this month (Project MC2 and DinoTrux) and as luck would have it, one was perfect for Andrew and the other for Eva. Although, Eva does like DinoTrux as much as Andrew.
