Revolutionary Voices
Student Media-Making and The American Revolution
January 13, 2026
4-6pm PST / 7-9pm EST
Discover how your students can connect the foundational principles of the American Revolution to their lives today by amplifying their knowledge through media-making.
In this interactive workshop for middle and high school teachers, we’ll explore the extensive, curriculum-aligned, multimedia resources from The American Revolution classroom collection on PBS LearningMedia, created with educators and drawing on content from the film by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt. Workshop participants will learn how to use the resources in the collection to inspire students to create an audio project for The American Revolution Youth Media Challenge. Participants will learn how to create a podcast in the classroom setting, and they will leave with a pathway to empower and share student voice beyond the classroom.

Online workshop; for grade 6-12 educators (Free)
Bring together research skills and visual design as a way to open new, differentiated pathways for students’ civic learning and expression with Facing History & Ourselves and KQED Education.

We’ll also create infographics with KQED and learn first hand how the language of visual design can inspire students to share their voice and communicate complex ideas and data.
