Overview
Welcome to Mississippi Public Broadcasting's educational site - a place designed to enhance the work of educators, students, parents and learners of all ages through quality programs, resources and services that educate, entertain and enlighten.
Programs and Services
MPB's Education Services division offers a variety of programs and services to the educational community. We still continue to offer a plethora of ITV programs that can be recorded from our overnight block feed, or purchased from our video duplication center for classroom use. Our School Resource Guide is now available to download right here from our Web site.
The new 2006-2007 School Resource Guide is here!
Education Specialists are available to conduct FREE staff development workshops at schools across the state on a variety of topics that include: video copyright issues, ITV utilization in the classroom and curriculum/series specific workshops.
Mississippi Public Broadcasting is offering a new service called MPB Express to schools all across the state. MPB Express is composed of video on demand, or videostreaming curriculum content, key concepts, photos and clips, resources and other material all correlated to the Mississippi Curriculum Framework, from AIMS Multimedia and Discovery Education. This service allows administrators, teachers and students to view video content and create and do lessons on any computer with Internet capability. And the good part is, this service is at no cost to your school district!
Mississippi Interactive Video Network
The MIVN classroom, housed at our headquarters, is designed to enhance learning by bringing far away places into the classroom. Now a teacher can instruct students that are assembled in a class hundreds of miles away through state of the art technology!
TeacherLine
Mississippi Public Broadcasting partnered with PBS TeacherLine in a Star Schools Grant from 2000-2005 to provide innovative, online staff development to K-12 teachers statewide. Though the grant has ended, MPB continues to offer a variety of facilitated, standards-based courses. Locally-offered TeacherLine courses give teachers the benefit of building community with other Mississippi teachers in courses that are facilitated by PBS-trained, certified Mississippi educators. (See our 'Staff' page) Focus areas are technology integration, reading, math, evaluation and assessment. Teachers can now earn CEUs or graduate credit by completing online courses. MPB is proud to be providing this cutting edge, technology-driven offering to Mississippi teachers. |
