We, at Rhode Island PBS, are committed to continue working with Rhode Island schools and districts and providing high-quality, low-cost video content as well as customized professional development for teachers.

We connect your classroom to the world wide web of knowledge through the use of innovative technologies and bring affordable high-quality digital media resources as well as teaching and learning tools to Rhode Island's classrooms.

Rhode Island PBS is offering two new educational digital service options that include LEARN360 streamed-curriculum and the launching of the PBS Digital Learning Library (PBS DLL) as an effort to bring more value and variety to the digital media experience in K-12 and adult education classrooms statewide.

As of September 1, 2011, Rhode Island PBS will make PBS DLL content available to RI schools through its RIPBS Digital Learning Gateway. Those interested on using this service must email Dr. Velasquez at Education@RIpbs.org.
