- Use the Challenges and Resources to begin your students' learning.
- The Tuesday before the show airs, post your students' artwork on Twitter, using #liveitearth so that it can be featured in our Live It Student Art Collection.
- If you watch the feature show on its launch date, your students' questions will be answered by experts in real-time during the LIVE Q&A.
- Watch the show as a class and hear from experts as our host asks questions surrounding the program topic. And be sure to ask students questions during the Q&A so that they can receive LIVE answers from the experts!
- Following the show, have your students test their knowledge with the Game Challenge!
- If you need further help, take a look at our additional PRO-D videos, check our FAQs page, or click the teacher support chat button to ask any further questions you may have.
