When you sign up for our free email newsletter, you'll get a weekly summary of selected MPT broadcast programming (including air dates and times!) and Internet resources that are useful to educators. Here's a sample highlight from our K-12 Educational Video Service:
| MATISSE & PICASSO Thursday, November 1, 2001 (3 - 3:30 am) Middle/High School The program combines spectacular, high-definition photography of rarely seen paintings and sculpture with archival photographs and film footage of the two masters at work. The program goes beyond the exhibition to reveal the story of the extraordinary artistic dialogue between Matisse and Picasso. |
The information is categorized by subject area, so that you can quickly locate the material that's useful to you. We're also including new online educational resources. Here's an example of a highlight from our own Web site:
| ENVIROHEALTH LINK http://www.mpt.org/learningworks/teachers/envirohealth The lessons developed by Maryland master teachers for the multi-year EnviroHealth Link initiative, a partnership program of MPT and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, reside on the EnviroHealth Link Web site. Of interest is "Biological and Chemical Weapons...Around Here? Investigating the Threat of New Age Warfare to our Environment," a science/health lesson for grades 8-12 in the "Classroom Central" portion of the site. Although the lesson was created in 1999, the timeliness of the topic and links to information on anthrax and other agents make this a valuable resource. |
We also connect you to useful resources from all over the Web. Here's an example spotlighting an online lesson plan from PBS.org:
|
First Measured Century: Lesson -- "The Demise of
the Great American Frontier" PBSOL> Middle/High School In this lesson, students are introduced to how early Census data, when combined visually with maps, effectively demonstrated the end of the frontier. Students also learn how to display data visually by developing a series of shaded maps using Census data to show the moving frontier. http://mpt.org/learningworks/go.cfm?s=/fmc/lessons/lesson1.htm |
