PBS Teachers

PBS has launched their new Teachers Site as of Friday, Oct. 23.http://www.pbs.org/teachers/ PBS Teachers is the national Web destination for preK-12 educators to access PBS' educational services and a searchable database of more than 9,000 free local and national standards-based teaching activities, lesson plans, on-demand video assets, interactive games, and simulations. Many of the resources feature PBS' award-winning programming and content, including on-demand streaming video from select PBS programs.

PBS Teachers hosts an online learning community for educators to share ideas, collaborate, and discuss technology and digital media integration in the classroom. Within the community, educators can search for instructional resources that fit their needs; then easily bookmark, annotate, share, and manage their tagged content. New digital media resources are regularly added to the PBS Teachers site and designed for use in school and home-based learning environments.
