Jump Start Learning with KET Media Resources and Services
Overview of KET's Services
To followup on our recent contact I wanted to share these resources from our KET EncycloMedia services plus stand-alone sites that can help make the concepts you are presenting come alive and engage your students in fun and exciting ways. Take time to explore and enjoy them yourself!
Note: A good example of some of the resources found in our services is the image to the left of this text by Edgar Degas entitled "Dancers in the Wings" (1834-1917). It is from the over 4,000 image collection provided by the Bridgeman Art Library located in PBS Learning Media.
For more information or assistance regarding any KET service or feature, contact me at abradshaw@ket.org or via phone at: 859.258.7150.
