Resources for Strengthening Engineering and Design Thinking

Join GPB’s education outreach team for a primer on incorporating our Active Learning resources into the virtual environment. We will choose four complex active learning approaches and highlight how to utilize them around any theme - in this case, the 3Rs!

One of the most exciting features available to teachers via their free PBS LearningMedia accounts is the Lesson Builder tool, newly upgraded for the 2021-22 school year. Lesson Builder allows teachers to identify meaningful educational content then create a personalized, interactive engagement around the content that students can access for an in-class activity or homework assignment.

In this session, participants will be introduced to Lesson Builder and learn how to:
Create lessons by combining media, text, and short quizzes.
Share lessons with students using URLs or assignment codes that can be shared via communications or embedded into learning management tools.
View individual student responses or a summary of results for the entire class.
Share question responses in real-time for in-class discussions.
