Did anyone see the new PBS site: “Student Portal and Productivity Tools
for Teachers” at: http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/student/

You’ll see that one of their Social Studies offerings is NYS Path
Through History – were the local “partners” ever made aware of this? Who
put the site together? The “discussion questions” are pretty
uninspiring. And I thought “I Love NY” was only in the business of
promoting tourism – that’s what they told me when I asked them if some
of the resources from “I Love NY” could go directly to local historical
and cultural sites to develop their programs and other public
products…sigh!
