The Live It Earth Series

One of the great things about a Live It Earth program, is that there is no right or wrong way to integrate it into a learning environment. Our programs and resources are designed to be flexible, so they can be used in the classroom or at home.

Here’s a quick overview video:

Eight times a school year, Live It Earth produces an online, interactive program that has cross-curricular activities and challenges for students in Grades K to 8.

Each program includes:

A feature show (20 to 35 minutes)

A live Q+A with experts in the field via Twitter

A comprehensive teacher + student resource collection filled with challenges and activities

A typical program is experienced in a classroom over a two-week+ period. The schedule looks something like this:

First Week

Monday:

Teachers receive an email notification that the program resources are ready.
Teachers can get familiar with the latest program, and pick and pull resources to explore with their class.

Tuesday through Friday:

Watch the program trailer with the class (introduction to the topic).
Explore the slideshow with students. (This may be done as a class activity or per student depending on the age and technology available in the classroom.)
Choose from Creative, STEM and Story Challenges to build engagement.
