PS: I’ve shamelessly tagged this post with my favorite lines from this awesome, awesome show.

This is a blog dedicated to why PBS is important

pbsproject:

We can list all the services it provides, but there is probably nothing more powerful about PBS than what makes it important to us as individuals.

The little things that we remember from our childhoods. The shows that continue to educate us every day of our lives.

Please, feel free to submit, and let us all know what makes PBS important to you.

Survey reveals educators' must-have technologies →

Interactive whiteboards are the classroom technology that teachers say they most value, and though tablet-style eReader devices such as Apple’s iPad haven’t been around for long, they’re already considered the second most useful mobile classroom technology behind laptops, according to a national survey of teachers’ digital media use.

Teachers also reported spending 60 percent of their time using educational resources in the classroom that are either free or paid for by the teachers themselves. More than half of K-12 teachers (62 percent) say they frequently use digital media in classroom instruction. Forty-six percent of teachers cited cost as the main barrier to using fee-based digital resources, and 33 percent cited time constraints.

The report was conducted by PBS and Grunwald Associates LLC. It’s called “Deepening Commitment: Teachers Increasingly Rely on Media and Technology.” You can view the report here (warning: PDF).
