WGBH, in collaboration with NASA, is on a 5-year mission to design and develop digital media-integrated instructional resources on PBS LearningMedia for K-12 classrooms.
This panel/presentation will cover:
Phenomena can provide the ‘anchor’ to a designed instructional sequence—opening the door to investigation, lines of questioning, and authentic science and engineering practices.
In Earth and Space Science, particularly, these phenomena often happen at huge size scales, over long timelines, or are not even visible to us in our everyday experience. For this reason, digital media can play a tremendous role in giving students access to these phenomena, and therefore opening lines of authentic investigation into these topics.
WGBH has spent 2016 designing, developing, and testing instructional resources that take advantage of the unique possibilities of digital media. We will share this process and what we have learned along the way from thousands of teachers across MA and the nation. Massachusetts teachers from our national teacher advisor team will join the panel to share their experience using and testing these and share insights about how we teach, and learn, with digital media.
