New Collections in NBC Learn

NBC Learn has launched three new sections:

With less than a year to go until Election Day, the new collection Decision 2012 has been launched. This new collection is designed to help your students research and analyze the 2012 presidential race based on the candidates, issues, calendar of events and the election process. Students will be able to access candidate profiles, from Mitt Romney to Michelle Bachman, to better understand their positions on the most pressing issues facing the country: the economy and jobs, education, national security, immigration and healthcare. This robust collection of NBC News reports and stories will be updated every weekday through the 2013 presidential inauguration.

You’ll also see two brand new collections on the NBC Learn home page this month: Math & Statistics, and Performing & Visual Arts. The math collection contains nearly 200 videos explaining the numbers behind the news. Math plays a big part in the stories you’ll find here, on everything from the national census to the latest medical studies. For the first time, you’ll find an Activity drawer on our CueCard, with helpful math questions drawing from what content in the videos.

Performing & Visual Arts draws on NBC’s unparalleled coverage of the arts, from Dance, Music and Theater to the stories of the business and controversies stirred up by the arts in America. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
