Itron Collaborates with Disco Learning Media and GPB Education to Expand STEM Education Resources in PBS LearningMedia
The Instructional Experience Will Help Students Learn More About the Energy-water Nexus and Key Lessons in Sustainability and Conservation
The goal of Resourcefulness in PBS LearningMedia is to introduce students to different cross-cutting issues at the core of the relationship between energy and water. The collection inside PBS LearningMedia presents images, video and academic commentary to introduce key concepts and inspire further research.
“We’re thrilled to work with Georgia Public Broadcasting Education and Disco on this expansion of the Resourcefulness curriculum,” said Callie Bendickson, manager of corporate social responsibility for Itron. “GPB is a nationally recognized leader in providing high quality, educational content for public media, and this project will help bring Resourcefulness to more classrooms across the country.”
“Through PBS LearningMedia, GPB and PBS are able to offer free, standards-aligned videos, interactives, lesson plans and more for teachers and students,” said Laura Evans, director of education for Georgia Public Broadcasting, “Our collaboration with Itron and Disco Learning Media allows us to provide even more high-quality resources that address STEM concepts.”
Resourcefulness is underwritten by Itron, Inc. and part of Itron’s education corporate social responsibility initiative that provides energy education for K-12 students around the world.
