What
is ITV?
Instructional
Television refers to programs that are developed specifically for classroom use.
Because of their focused subject matter and short length (usually 10 to 20 minutes
each), they integrate easily into educational plans.
Several
of these programs include Teachers'
Guides that contain lesson plans, discussion questions and other materials
that help teachers integrate the program into classroom teaching.
More
than 184 ITV series, covering 13 core curriculum areas and meeting the Rhode Island
Department of Education curriculum standards, are broadcast weekdays from 11:30
a.m. to 2:00 p.m. during the school year. This service is provided at no cost
to all Rhode Island K-12 schools.
