Mountain Lake PBS - Your stories. Your station.

Mountain Lake PBS offers professional development on a local level to area K-12 teachers and pre-service teachers at the college level.  These workshops focus on how to utilize PBS resources to complement curriculum and address 21^st Century Skills through integrating our comprehensive video download service provided through VITAL and Teachers Domain and websites such as PBS Teachers.  We also offer information on the many Raising Readers services that are available including the following: PBS Kids Island, WordQuest, and the many programming resources from award winning literacy based shows such as Martha Speaks and SuperWhy.

In this workshop Eddie Vega and Dr. Heidi Schnackenberg discussed alternatives to commonly used, commercially produced computer software as well as where to get technical support, training and professional development necessary to access this software. They also discussed how both open and closed source software, can co-exist in schools, the workplace and at home.
