NASA AND SCETV BRING TV SERIES INTO CLASSROOMS
NASA and South Carolina Educational Television (SCETV) are
joining forces to video-stream three educational TV series to
classrooms in South Carolina and across the country.
Developed by NASA Langley’s Office of Education, the shows
- "NASA Science Files,"™ and "NASA CONNECT"™ - enhance
and enrich the learning of mathematics, science, and technology for
students from grades three through 12. Almost 18,000 South Carolina
educators, representing about one-half million South Carolina
students, are registered users of these programs.
The third show -- "NASA's Destination Tomorrow" is designed for
educators, parents and life-long learners. These NASA award-winning
programs have never before been available on the Web.
Using SCETV facilities, the streaming video will be made
accessible nationwide to schools through SCETV’s K-12
educational portal at http://www.knowitall.org.
"NASA Science Files"™ is a research and standards-based,
Emmy® Award-winning series of 60-minute programs for students
grades 3-5. Shows are designed to introduce students to NASA and,
through the use of science, mathematics and technology, motivate
them to become critical thinkers and active problem solvers.
"NASA CONNECT"™ is a research and standards-based,
Emmy® Award-winning series of mathematics-focused programs for
students in grades 6-8. The series includes a broadcast designed to
establish a connection between concepts taught in the classroom and
those used by NASA researchers.
"NASA’s Destination Tomorrow"™ is a series of
30-minute television programs that focuses on NASA research, past,
present and future. Designed for educators, parents and life-long
learners, each program in this Emmy® Award-winning series
follows a magazine-style format with segments running from 3-8
minutes.
