What a great opportunity!
Inspire and Engage Students through Digital Media
Now more than ever, educators need support around digital media literacy skills, in both remote and traditional classroom environments. The new KQED Media Academy offers a set of four free, instructor-led online professional development courses that prepare educators to effectively and meaningfully analyze, evaluate and make media with students to support curriculum goals.
These professional learning courses are open to all educators across the country, including PreK-12 classroom teachers, librarians, TOSAs and anyone who wants to make media-rich, digitally-savvy learning available to students. The Academy will give you the skills and experience you need to connect the dots between digital citizenship, media literacy, 21st Century skills and national curriculum standards.

I spent an hour this morning with Mrs. Schoenradt's fifth grade students learning about all of the online maker space options she has put together for them. What a great way to introduce students to STEM activities that they can use during class and on their own to explore. I really enjoy dropping into classes remotely!
