Keeping Georgia on Our Minds With GPB’s Georgia Studies Collection

In a follow-up Georgia Studies session, GPB’s education outreach team will explore the in-depth resources available for teaching Geography. Join us to learn about the connections between lessons built into our textbook, experiences available in our virtual learning journeys, online standards-based assessments, document-based questions and more!

Game-based learning is a tried-and-true educational approach, made more effective by the growing availability of interactive digital content. In this workshop, participants will become familiar with virtual and game-based learning resources created by GPB Education and distributed through our streaming partnership with PBS LearningMedia. Explore ideas for how virtual and game-based approaches can pair meaningful learning activities with appropriate assessment challenges, and enable students to enthusiastically engage in mastering knowledge and skills that are relevant to real-world experiences.

Participants will become familiar with the active-learning U.S history resources created by GPB Education while modeling ideas for how virtual reality and game-based learning can pair engaging activities with appropriate assessment challenges and enable students to master knowledge and literacy skills that are relevant to real-world experiences.

Join GPB’s education outreach team for a creative take on social studies education in conjunction with National Poetry Month. We'll explore primary source sets from PBSLearningMedia along with instructional strategies in "found poetry" that will shift how students examine, analyze, and understand documents.
