Get Your Learn On With PBS’s Films

Always at the forefront of education, PBS has spotlighted some of their films showcasing culture, history, food, and more.

Films open our eyes and hearts to different experiences. They can offer a voice to people who have often been hidden in our society or a lens into communities we might not have noticed before. Sometimes they uncover a history we hadn’t learned in school, giving us a chance to see the impact of past events on our day-to-day lives.

In each of these independent film series, you’ll find stories featuring diverse walks of life, places, and moments in history. Find your favorite spot on the couch and press play.

National Novel Writing Month #NaNoWriMo

Did you know November is Nation Novel Writing Month? If you feel like you have been putting off getting started on the next great novel, now is the time to start. NaNoWriMo was started as an effort to provide structure, community and encouragement to writers. It’s sounds a little like the novel version of a hackathon.

Are you up to the challenge? you are already a weak behind so you better get started if you want to hit the 50,000 word goal!

More from NaNoWriMo:

National Novel Writing Month began in 1999 as a daunting but straightforward challenge: to write 50,000 words of a novel in thirty days. Now, each year on November 1, hundreds of thousands of people around the world begin to write, determined to end the month with a first draft. They enter the month as elementary school teachers, mechanics, or stay-at-home parents. They leave novelists.

There are more resources and help (beyond November) on the site nanowrimo.org
