When I was growing up I loved to watch Saturday morning cartoons. All the good ones came on about mid-morning but for those of us who woke up early there were really strange ones that had an "Educational and Informational" box at the top. The narrator would say "this program was designed to meet the educational and informational needs of children." The concept was good, the content was somewhat lacking though.
Edutainment is a new word that describes the concept that is addressed above. The word is a combination of Education and Entertainment. Edutainment has the potential of being a very valuable teaching tool but the content and quality must be improved.
