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!
