PBS LearningMedia is – and we cannot stress this enough – an ESSENTIAL tool for educators (& parents). This is doubly true during a national pandemic when all the schools shut down and educators find themselves thrust into digital instruction.
The PBS LearningMedia library is filled with free, high-quality resources curated by one of the most trusted media brands in the world. All of the resources that can be filtered by subject, grade level, media type, and even language! Resources include short videos, lessons and interactive games designed to help your students learn, and are easily shared in Google Classroom, Remind, via Email, or on social media. Each resource is complete with support materials such as worksheets or discussion questions, and the curators even list out the state and national standards to which the resource aligns (just make sure you have WOSU set as you preferred station so you see Ohio’s Standards).
