Educator Comments:
Great programming and variety but too far for our students to visit in person.

Great topics on something that is interesting and pertains to us directly.

The Ohio Historical Society offers wonderful programs aligned to standards as well as encouraging the students to use critical thinking to come to conclusions. They are entertaining as well as informational.

The OHS has been very helpful in helping us follow up their presentations with photos and artifacts as well as activities.

Excellent feedback from Teachers & Students on both these providers programs

good amount of provider to student Q&A.

Quality programming - reasonable prices

Treasure trove of facts and a wonderful resource to teachers

We used 6 of their programs this year and they were all very well done, engaging, and interactive.

I liked the Can She Trust You With Her Life session from The Ohio Historical Society as it was very interactive and fun.

Ohio Historical was the most engaging. Some others had solid content, but presentation was stiff, formal. Mike Mirarchi, videoconferencing Coordinator, Columbus Public Schools

The Ohio Historical Society provides educational programming that is very exciting for the students. Their programs "Can She Trust You with Her Life" and "So You Think You Know Ohio" are very interactive and help to meet various content standards. They do a wonderful job meeting the needs of our teachers.

The Ohio Historical Society provided regional information that was valuable.
