In Orbit: A Whole New PBS February 22
The new PBS Teachers site is slated to enter into orbit March 1, and will replace PBS TeacherSource. It’ll serve as the launching pad for PBS’s downright impressive lineup of educational resources, grades pre-K to 12. The site’s new search engine will help educators find streaming video of PBS television programs and other multimedia features, in addition to thousands of downloadable lesson plans correlated to yes, a big favorite, state and national standards. Also, check out Media Infusion, their new blog for sharing ideas about using media and technology around their site’s resources.
And if you haven’t already, check out their News Flash Five, which could light up your SmartBoard and a rug-full of faces with news, animated style.
Stay in the loop and create a PBS teacher profile (don’t forget to set your local PBS station for specific listings). While you’re at it, sign up to receive PBS Teacher Previews, the PBS weekly online newsletter for educators, via e-mail. Grade level, resource type and extended taping rights codes are indicated resource listings in the newsletter, which is super duper helpful.
