The Classroom Management collection on PBS LearningMedia offers educators a curated set of professional development resources to cultivate effective learning environments. It highlights strategies and best practices in areas such as classroom procedures, time management, student behavior, climate and culture, positive reinforcement, and support for first-year teachers. Each resource, ranging from videos and lesson plans to interactive activities, is designed to help educators create environments that foster engagement, streamline classroom operations, and support student learning. Many of the lessons are also available in Spanish, making them more accessible for diverse teaching communities.

tag(s): behavior (45), classroom management (124), professional development (295), social and emotional learning (144)

In the Classroom

Use short videos or case studies from the collection to have students act out classroom routines (like entering the room or transitioning between tasks). Create posters based on strategies highlighted in the lessons (e.g., steps for group work or attention signals). Students can help design them to increase ownership of classroom procedures. Have students reflect weekly on how classroom strategies (positive reinforcement, transitions, group norms) affect their learning. They can use Canva Docs, reviewed here to write their journals online.

Imagine describing what you want in plain language and instantly getting back a fully functional app, website, or game. That's the promise of Instance.so, an AI-powered no-code platform that lets users build digital products simply by "vibe coding," which is typing or speaking a prompt and watching the software take shape. Whether you need a scheduler, fitness coach site, mini-game, or data tool, Instance.so creates responsive layouts, app logic, navigation, and backend features in just minutes, with no programming required. It launches your app instantly on the web, with hosting included, making it "like having an AI developer in your pocket." Free plans include 3 app slots, a daily limit of 5 messages, and a monthly limit of 30 messages. The free plan doesn't include the ability to publish as mobile apps.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (255), DAT device agnostic tool (125), data (199), organizational skills (84)

In the Classroom

Students can design and build a personal web-based app to showcase their writing, artwork, STEM projects, or resumes, turning traditional portfolios into interactive digital experiences. In STEM or social studies, challenge students to identify a real-world issue (like recycling, time management, or mental health awareness) and build a simple app that offers a solution. Integrate with business or tech classes by having students invent and prototype a startup idea, using Instance.so to create a functional demo app they can pitch to peers or a mock "Shark Tank" panel. Learners can create educational games or interactive quizzes aligned with science, history, or ELA content, reinforcing learning through design thinking and application.

In addition, these examples provide support materials to dig deeper into each concept. Next, try the free Schedule Builder to experiment and explore options that fit your school's needs. Then, visit the Time Strategies tab to learn how schools use innovative methods to make the most of their school day. Finally, the Tools & Resources portion of the site includes professional development videos, digital tools to explore time management options, and publications that share information on reimagining time.

Creative Routines, a simple infographic, analyzes the self-reported daily routines of 16 creative geniuses from history. Traditional lessons on time management are so predictable. This infographic makes creative time management personal (and more meaningful). Did they get the recommended 8 hours of sleep? Did they exercise regularly? When were they most productive? What did they do for fun?

tag(s): biographies (93), creativity (82), gifted (63), organizational skills (84)

In the Classroom

Display the infographic on an interactive whiteboard as a springboard for discussion about time management, creativity, study (or work) habits, perseverance, or multi-tasking. Surprise! Mozart spent 0 hours checking his Facebook account! The site might also be instructive in a discussion about what habits contribute to creativity or as information about the lives of famous people. Using these 16 24-hour clocks as exemplars, students can make their own "creative routines" clocks for comparison. As you talk about creativity or study skills, encourage your students to pay attention to the time of day that is best for them to generate creative ideas, write, draw, write music, etc. They may find that altering their routine can have a positive impact on both grades and creative satisfaction.

Updates are shown in real time, so refreshing the site isn't necessary. The two main items used on boards are cards and lists. Cards are tasks; create a card for each task and drag it to the list. Attachments such as videos, due dates, user notes, and more can be attached to cards. Then pull each card into a list and place in any order necessary to complete the tasks. You can be identified with an @symbol and receive instant notifications.
