PBS Teachers!

PBS teachers is a great resource for all teachers to use. They have endless lesson plans, games, videos, and interactive activities for the arts, health and fitness, math, reading and language arts, science and technology, and social studies, in grades pre-K to 12. In addition, they have teacher discussions and professional development resources. This is a website that has resources for students, teachers, and parents, overall it is very informative, and a must have in your bookmarks.


The first thing that I noticed on this website was the fact that they have just about everything that I teach! They have a lot of ideas, all of which are hands on or interactive, not lectures or things boring for students or teacher. Not only do they have ideas, but they also include a lot of familiar characters that students know and relate to, making it more interesting to them. 


Another very useful resource that they offer is a discussion board for teachers. This is a place where teachers can go and ask other teachers for ideas, or help, or just about anything. The other good thing about this is that you can search previous questions that have been asked and see those responses as well. Teachers all need to work together to help educate the future, and this is a good way to help.


There are two things that I found on this website that I absolutely LOVE are an eat right contest, and a  road trip around the country with Wilson and Ditch. The eat right contest reinforces that students eat right, and the class gets money to enhance their class if they win. The road trip has two animals that lead students around the country to major cities, and tell them important facts and show clips of the most popular parts of the city. 


This is a website that I would recommend to any teachers of any experience, subject, or grade. Hope you enjoy it!
