Now, WPBS-TV and public television stations throughout New York State,  are providing a new way to use videos in the classroom – FOR FREE.  Teachers, adult learners and students have access to a digital library of more than 3,200 educational core-curriculum videos and 15,000 video clips—24 hours a day, 365 days a year—all correlated to New York State Learning Standards.
