  1. I used to think that GPB was all about documentaries and children's shows, but after examining the site more closely,I see that it is valuable for so much more than that. One of the features that really impressed me were the capabilities to witness a virtual science lab activity via GPB Educational Streaming and complete the exercises provided in a way very similar to the classroom, so that students in physics and chemistry courses can have experiences that otherwise might not be available. I also liked that some programming, such as the tree frog video, is specific to Georgia; I feel that this can help to engage students because the locality seems more relevant than the same bill-becomes-a-law process at the national level, because there are many more students in our state who have been to Atlanta than to Washington, D.C.
