Gateway to Georgia: Exploring GPB's Upgraded and Enhanced Georgia Studies Collection

GPB’s Georgia Studies Collection is a comprehensive ecosystem of standards-based digital resources that includes an interactive textbook, 34 field trips through Georgia’s geography and history, and an engaging game-based learning experience. Join GPB for an update on the latest primary sources, assessments, printables, videos, and skill-building activities now available in this free virtual exploration of our state.

Game-based learning is a tried-and-true educational approach, made more effective by the growing availability of interactive digital content. In this workshop, participants will become familiar with virtual and game-based learning resources created by GPB Education and distributed through our streaming partnership with PBS LearningMedia. Explore ideas for how virtual and game-based approaches can pair meaningful learning activities with appropriate assessment challenges, and enable students to enthusiastically engage in mastering knowledge and skills that are relevant to real-world experiences.

Participants will become familiar with the active-learning U.S history resources created by GPB Education while modeling ideas for how virtual reality and game-based learning can pair engaging activities with appropriate assessment challenges and enable students to master knowledge and literacy skills that are relevant to real-world experiences.

Join GPB’s education outreach team for a creative take on social studies education in conjunction with National Poetry Month.
