August is Connected Educator Month and the New York Times blog The Learning Network asked those who had written a guest post to answer the question: “What one person, group or organization would you recommend every educator add to his or her Personal Learning Network?” Latin teacher Jessica Lahey answered, “Good ol’ PBS Teachers has rescued, inspired and educated me more times than I can count.”
To connect you to the best of PBS resources, PBS Teachers is one place we go for multimedia resources and professional development for prek-12 educators. If you want to check it out for yourself, you’ll find resources such as PBS KIDS in the Classroom, PBS Education News, and PBS EcoInvestigators, designed to get students in grades 3-5 engaged, excited, and prepared to take on and solve environmental problems in their community and beyond. You’ll even be connected to the PBS Teachers Facebook page where you’ll find still more resources, including links for NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars!
