PBS & Classroom 2.0 Live Webinars
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 July 9th we are delighted to have PBS KIDS producers and educators join us to discuss Early Childhood Literacy: Resources & Strategies and share a wide array of content and strategies designed to help teachers of young children improve their students' literacy skills. Scott Cameron, Director of Education and Research at the Sesame Workshop, will discuss the educational goals of the new Electric Company and how the on-air and online resources can be used in the classroom. Educational consultant Julie Wood will focus on best practices in reading and language arts instruction in 1st-4th grades, discuss her involvement with PBS KIDS' Raising Readers initiative and share ideas for using Raising Readers on-air and online educational resources. They will be joined by Heather Dzikiy, a teacher who has demonstrated innovative and effective use of PBS KIDS content in educational settings, and Jennifer Rodriguez of the PBS KIDS team who will present PBS KIDS Island, an innovative website that serves kids, parents, caregivers and teachers. Click here for the full event details and how to attend.Past PBS/CR2.0 Events and recordings can be found here.
