Explaining Today: The Future of America's Past Educational Initiative Workshop Registration

American PublicTelevision and GPB Education are offering a summer series of train-the-trainer workshops for secondary and pre-service teachers. Each workshop uses episodes from the Emmy Award-winning documentary series The Future of America’s Past to model how teachers can develop learning resources to increase student media literacy and critical thinking skills through digital humanities projects that feature primary source / archival materials. 

Educators will receive a $100 stipend for participating in the three-day workshop and for completing a set of inquiry-based learning resources. These resources will be published in a new Explaining Today: The Future of America’s Past collection on PBS LearningMedia.

The workshops will be held in late June at Columbus State University and in mid July at Georgia Public Broadcasting. Educators will work collaboratively using digital resources and will need a laptop or tablet to fully participate. Lunch will be provided each day. Please register using the form below.

For more information, contact Tracey Wiley at twiley@GPB.org.
