PBS & Classroom 2.0 Live Webinars: Sid the Science Kid on Germs, Viruses, and Vaccines
PBS Teachers® and Classroom 2.0, with support from Elluminate, are partnering on a series of free monthly webinars designed to help preK-12 educators learn new ways to integrate online instructional resources in the classroom and engage students in curriculum lessons. On Tuesday, November 17th we shared information about a currently airing episode of Sid the Science Kid that helps children better understand the science behind germs, viruses and vaccines, and learn good prevention techniques such as as sneezing into an elbow, effective hand washing, and disinfecting common household surfaces to prevent germs from spreading. During the webinar, health and early childhood education experts shared ideas on how educators can help kids better understand viruses and vaccinations and support healthy habits in school. The recording links are available here.Past PBS/CR2.0 Events and recordings can be found here.
