Cable in the Classroom
In what ways do educators use cable television to help children learn, and what evidence is there to support or not support this practice? With the advancement of society, it seems only natural that teaching styles would evolve too. Technology has advanced tremendously over the last ten years, and it would only make sense that teaching styles do the same. Cable in the Classroom (CIC) is a natural extension of the cable industry's ongoing effort to help educators keep pace with today's rapidly changing world. One way to advance is to use cable television in classrooms. The type of cable being discussed isn't the kind that shows boxing matches or soap operas. This type of cable is specially edited for content and closely regulated by a group of specially appointed teachers and the government. It is commercial free, and non-profit. Several reasons exist regarding whether or not cable in classrooms is even needed. Is it cost effective? Who will train the teachers to use the equipment? Who will decide what goes on the air and what does not? How will this benefit our children's ability to learn? These are questions that the school board must decide and vote on before any answers can be given.
