PBS Learning Media – Interactive Activities & Video Resources

PBS Learning Media has over 12,000 digital learning objects, which include video clips, documents, games, images, and activities. Approximately 60 percent of the collection is made up of  purpose-built short pieces of video that have been produced or adapted for use in the classroom.

The free service allows educators to search for any keyword, standard, topic, or grade level and use the content they find in the classroom. The premium service, which adds a fee, allows for greater customization and enhanced features.

Technology Integration Matrix

“The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative. The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as illustrated below.”

Each cell has a short video clip where the teacher explains the activity and how it was used in class with students.
