We support our educators, youth group leaders and civic organizations in the communities served by FirstEnergy's operating companies - Ohio Edison, The Illuminating Company, Toledo Edison, Penn Power, Met-Ed, Penelec, and Jersey Central Power & Light - as well as where we have facilities, by providing free supplemental resources.
Our latest Web site addition offers a virtual tour of one of our coal generating plants. Without leaving your home, or school, you can take an amazing journey through a typical FirstEnergy coal-fired generating plant. Using digitized computer animation, visitors can go behind steel walls and see the inner workings of complex machinery and systems that generate the electricity that powers your homes, schools and future workplaces. Click here or on the picture to access the tour and begin your journey!
Also, our Electric Avenue interactive site offers a world of information on electrical safety, energy sources and energy efficiency and is designed to be an excellent classroom resource. Electric Avenue also features fun, energy-related games and facts suitable for all grade levels.
We're continually working to provide resources that are acceptable, adaptable and useful to educators in a variety of curriculum programs. The FirstEnergy Educational Advisory Councils, which are panels of educators and school administrators from Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, meet each year to discuss educational goals. The Councils extensively review and evaluate a variety of resources and make appropriate recommendations on grade and subject use.
