Public media plays a vital role in education, but how can we stay ahead of emerging trends to better serve our communities? This year, our annual tech and culture trends recap takes an educational turn, focusing on insights from SXSW EDU – the international education conference shaping the future of learning.
As public media communicators, we are good at telling stories. But, in the cycle of broadcast and streaming production and releases, that storytelling is often focused on the projects our stations do throughout the year and we don't take, or have the time, to tell the larger story of what our stations do as a whole and the impact that our work is making.
Your time and resources are precious, and nobody wants to try and reinvent the wheel. Join us for our first Education PLC Meetup of 2025 where everyone is invited to bring something their station has created that another station can easily take and run with. Think co-brandable flashcards, a local education project with online resources that are relevant anywhere, or even an upcoming online event. Come ready to share with any relevant links.
This webinar will introduce you to Molly Community Science, a National Science Foundation-funded initiative that aims to support the development of environmental identity among 6- to 8-year-old children from rural Alaska Native communities.
