Friends Of OETA, Inc.

A new school year brings new students and plenty of preparation. As Oklahoma educators welcome students back to the classroom, they deserve resources that support the important work ahead.

Through PBS LearningMedia, teachers can access free videos, interactive lessons, lesson plans and printable materials for a variety of subjects and grade levels.

To the educators using these tools: thank you for allowing OETA to be part of your classroom this school year.

Some learn by watching. Some learn by listening. Some need to move, play, repeat or ask lots of questions. Accessible educational media gives families more ways to find what works for their children. 📚

Learning is not one-size-fits-all, and with the PBS KIDS Games app, it does not have to be. 🤝

Through free and accessible resources like the PBS KIDS Games app, OETA helps families across Oklahoma discover learning opportunities that can go wherever they go. Children can play educational games anytime, anywhere, with familiar PBS KIDS characters that make learning feel fun and engaging.

Over the last five months, 359,567 digital users of OETA’s audience played games like Phoebe & Jay’s Signs and Seek, Alma’s Way: Create with Alma, Lyla in the Loop: Stu Delivery Service, and more from popular PBS KIDS series.

Each game builds on the same topics and ideas families see in PBS KIDS programming, giving children another way to practice problem-solving, creativity, literacy, and everyday learning skills. OETA helps connect families to trusted, free resources that support learning beyond the screen.

The PBS KIDS Games app is available for free on Apple and Android devices.

How do you practice Guided Viewing at home? 🤔

Guided Viewing turns screen time into a shared learning experience. With a little guidance, parents and caregivers can help children ask questions, make connections, reflect, and apply new ideas to everyday life.

The four stages are Identify, Connect, Think and Learn, and Apply. Together, they help make educational programming more meaningful for families.

Friends of OETA is committed to helping Oklahoma families access free resources like Guided Viewing because every child deserves access to opportunities that support curiosity, confidence, and growth.
