What Users Love About the App

“One of my favorite lessons I use this site for is my bridge design unit with my 8th grade students. The Bridge Challenge is a wonderful tool for both ICT/STEM classes and science classes. It is quite informative and engaging for the students.”

“Teachers’ Domain, now moving to PBS LearningMedia, has been one my most-used digital resources for several years. I’ve found lots of video clips and interactive activities that apply science and technology topics in interesting ways.”

“I adore PBS Learning!! I have to say that I took a role as a Program Specialist for the Professional Learning Department of my large county last year and one of the single most appreciated resources that I discuss/share with teachers is this site.”

“Lessons are clearly presented in a logical order. While all important facts are taught, many opportunities for critical thinking exist, challenging my students to understand more deeply. One practical aspect that I appreciated was that all materials come in coordination with each lesson and are ready to use!”

“This website is easy to use with a variety of videos and interactives across various content areas. Many lessons include supplemental classroom materials and lesson plans. Users are able to easily search by content area or grade level.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“The videos by themselves don’t cover things enough to be a standalone lesson. There are some that have lessons though. I would either use it as a preview or review of lessons.”

“Some of the videos include a lesson plan that can be modified, but others do not. The age of the videos is pretty variable; there are some from the 1990s, while others are nearly new.”

“You have to look through some of the videos are dated and may turn off some students.”

“I feel it falls short in meeting the needs of students with different learning styles or those who may not catch on as quickly.”
