Distance Learning Resources |

Whether your students are working on campus or remotely, use MY HERO's free media resources to enrich learning. The Teachers Room has links to resources, tutorials and lesson plans that utilize media from MY HERO's online library, curated by subject, for elementary, middle school, high school and college students.
The films, stories, art and music in our library shine a light on those making a positive difference around the world. Taking part in MY HERO gives students an appreciation for diversity and introduces them to inspiring role models who work to protect the planet, advocate for peace, and strive toward social justice for all.
