"I would like to add my praise to the PBS TeacherLine course, which I took last year and totally free, thanks to .. our district.

The course I took "Searching and Researching the Internet" [TECH325] only took 6 weeks, but the curriculum covered a lot of essential and practical content. I actually impressed my students and teachers [with] the knowledge I have learned from the course.

Conversing with a group of peer educators in your class gives you broad perspectives from all over the nation. I definitely will consider doing it again."

The Georgia State Department of Education has approved all 15hr and above TeacherLine courses for professional development PLU credit.

In September 2009, the courses were endorsed by then Education Superintendent Kathy Cox. "The Georgia Department of Education has reviewed PBS TeacherLine's English language arts and mathematics classes and given them our stamp of approval," Superintendent Cox said. "These classes are well-aligned with our state standards and the high expectations we have for teachers in Georgia."

Marilyn Stansbury, director of education for Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB), said this is just the beginning of this partnership. "We will continue to work together to find ways we can provide high-quality, low-cost professional development opportunities for Georgia teachers," Ms. Stansbury said. "We are excited to launch this new partnership with the Georgia Department of Education and the state's educators."

Superintendent Cox cited federal Title 1 and stimulus funds as a way for districts to pay for educators' TeacherLine courses.
