. . . . . . . . The gentleman sitting next to me is known on the telephone as the voice of learning link. He is the multimedia coordinator at the center and also handles the majority of customer service calls for learning link. Robert, people have heard us use the term learning link and what is it? What does it mean? Basically, learning link is an educational online service provided by UNCTV to share all of the educational support materials, staff development materials that are developed based on the broadcast programs by PBS, as well as UNCTV. What could I use it for as a
teacher? Well, there are several things you could use it for as a teacher. One, and I guess the primary activity would be in the classroom. A lot of the educational programs that we show can be used in math courses, science, social studies. And they have study guides. They have classroom activity list, as well as projects that they could go online and do with other teachers. Who is eligible to get these services? All of North Carolina educators are eligible to get an account on learning link. And how much do these accounts cost? As a matter of fact, they cost nothing at all. Uh -huh. They're paid for by the taxpayers of the state. A good investment at that. How can I get an application? Basically, all you would have to do is either call us at our customer service number or log into our service and download the application online. To be able to access learning link, what type of equipment would a teacher need to have? You would need your basic
computer, motor, telephone line, and communication software. All righty. And are there any access limitations? None that I could think of. Just principally, you would just log in. The service is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, year -round. Already? And what are the telephone numbers that people can access this throw? Basically, they could use the numbers that are on the screen right now. Area code 919 -549 -7200. If you live outside of the research triangle area, you can use our 800 number, which is 1 -800 -342 -7259. If you happen to have your own access to the internet, you can tell net to us. Our tell net address is 152 .4 .101 .100. And that's available 24 hours a day. All of which is available 24 hours a day. All righty. Now, up on the screen is a picture of centerpiece our monthly magazine, which we send to every school in North Carolina, every public school, public library in North
Carolina. But often, people lose their misplace, their magazine. How can learning link help that way? One of the many things that we have on learning link is all of the text that you find in the centerpiece, the schedules, highlights of programs coming up this month, as well as schedules of programs that relate to science, math, social studies, arts, language arts, and communities. I think we have a graphic that will show one of the screens for learning link. And I think if you go to number eight, if you look at the screen, it shows the broadcast schedule. And now, if we could see the next screen, one of the things I get the most phone calls about is copyright. And if you go down to let a J, you'll notice it says educational copyright. And one of the things on there, it will describe by month the program, and then it will tell you exactly what the educational copyright is. So this will solve a lot of problems for teachers who want to put things in their libraries. Now, I
understand you may redesign some of the screens this year, is that correct? Yes, we are looking at converting learning link to a total graphical interface. The worldwide web has become quite popular now, and it actually provides features that will allow us to provide a wider variety of information. And I think it's going to be one of the most interesting things that have happened that has happened in the last five years. And what makes learning link different from other services? Well, there are many things in my mind, but I think for the most part, there are two or three things that are quite important to us. One, we can customize the schedule to what we broadcast online. When their PBS does have an online service, and many people have gone to it, and they see conflicts in the schedule, if teachers want to see what UNCTV is broadcasting this month, they wouldn't need to come to us. Let's look quickly at the address up on the screen, so we can make sure that you can order your applications or get applications.
You can send your e -mail to learning link, or you can call Robert at the Customers Service. Now, one of the important things is a new project that UNCTV has just gotten a large grant from the Burles Welcome Fund to help extend the life of breakthrough, the changing faces of science in America. And every teacher participating in this project is going to have a learning link account, and there will also be a special forum where they can discuss the project with one another. Let's take a look now at a clip from Breakthrough, the changing face of science in America. It had values and mountains and craters, and it came alive. Now, on Breakthrough, this activity that is chief magnitude star. Proving the secrets of the universe. If you don't take the risk and stick your neck out, and opening new doors and decide, remember growing up in the streets of New York. You have to wonder whether it's really our world, and you don't really know what you take the chance.
I hope you enjoyed this project. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoyed it. I think I was seven or eight. I forgot the exact age, but I was there in the Bronx where I grew up, and I met as a childhood friend of mine, who, you know,
we go out to play several times a week. Well, this one particular time he had a pair of binoculars, borrowed from his father. And he said, Neil, have you ever looked up with these things? And, quite frankly, the answer was no. My father brought home some books about space travel. These were books by an author by the name of Willie Lay, and what was amazing to me, and I was probably in first grade, six years old, but what was amazing to me was that I found out that space and stars and the sun were places you could go. I also very much admired detectives. I really liked all the Nancy Drew books, and I thought I might, you know, do something that was kind of intriguing, but that was more for fun. But I really, I always pictured myself as traveling a lot and having a lot of different experiences. I realized that my background was very limited. Slowly, but surely, I was not encouraged to go into other fields, like medicine, because my family wasn't rich, like law, because
I was told I didn't have the gift of gab. And so, I was sort of, well, that was what was left, science. So, for the first time, I actually looked up and out with these binoculars, and I saw the moon. It was the first quarter moon, and it was gorgeous. What was most significant for me is that the moon wasn't simply bigger. It was actually better through binoculars than the unated eye. It had valleys and mountains and craters, and it came alive. It was there. I could reach out and touch it. I thought about it, and if simple binoculars, seven by 35 binoculars, could do this for the moon, just imagine what those big telescopes could do. Joining us today is Dr. Jerry Amidratso, Jr. Executive Director of the University of North Carolina, Math and Science Education Network. And Dr. Amidratso was recently honored with one of the National Science Teachers Association's top award, the Distinguless Service to Science Educators Award.
Congratulations, Dr. Amidratso. Thank you, Mary. Can you tell us what is the MSEN? Yes, first of all, I'm delighted to be here, and thank you for the opportunity to discuss our organization. But the University of North Carolina Mathematics and Science Education Network is committed to providing leadership and professional educational opportunities for teachers from grades K through 12 in mathematics and science across the state, and to strengthen the quality of mathematics science teaching learning, as well as to provide opportunities for pre -college students to take very rigorous academic courses and activities in mathematics and science so that they will choose careers that are related to mathematics, science, engineering, and health. Can you give us a brief history of the network? Yes, back in the early 80s, the
state of North Carolina was feeling a sense of uneasiness because of the supply of mathematics and science teachers. And as you well know in those days, our universities and colleges in the state were graduating less than the number of teachers available to teach math and science than the demand. For example, in 1981, there were 218 mathematics teachers who graduated from our colleges and universities for about 615 positions, 6 to 12. And also in science it was the same story. There were like 168 graduates across the state who were majoring in science for about 310 teaching positions in science. So those were our challenges ten years ago and hopefully we will be able to meet the demands. What are some of the current programs that you're sponsoring? We have several and summer
institutes are among our busiest time. We just completed several workshops in each of our ten centers across the state. And then we also have the pre -college program which dealt with summer academies, scholars, and visiting labs of scientists at the university level. And what is the pre -college component? The pre -college component was designed to meet the challenges of historically underrepresented students in mathematics and science and that is minorities and females. And the program now has about 3 ,000 students across the state in six of our ten university centers that are participating in this program. It's fantastic. What's your vision for MSCN's future? Well, we certainly would like to apply the knowledge and resources of the University of North Carolina
in all sixteen campuses, hopefully, so that we will be able to provide high quality professional development in math and science so that student achievement in mathematics and science will be enhanced. Well, I certainly thank you for coming and we are delighted to have you as your organization as our partner in breakthrough. And now what we want to do is take a look at another exciting project that the Division of Educational Services produces. It's called Black Issues Forum and we're going to have a whole new season and a whole new look. Here's Jay Holloway to tell you more or less about the program. Make an honest assessment. Do you want to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be somebody? We're seeing a different kind of menace emerge and it's related to how expendable you are as a
labor force and we are now expendable. We need a vision of what the African American community will look like by 2005. Hi, I'm Jay Holloway. Welcome to Black Issues Forum, a changing vision. For ten years now in this program, some of the best and brightest minds discussed issues of great concern to all people, particularly African Americans. It has been an enormous task and we're proud of our shining moments. Filarially, our superb moderator for ten years is not with us because at the time of this taping, she is a
candidate for political office. And now for our last episode in this series, we thought that we would show you some of our best segments. The ones that many of you said were right on target and the most thought provoking. One of the issues that has been constant and the one that has been described as the major problem of the 20th century is the problem of race and race relations. We just finished a big study where we did something interesting. We interviewed 8 ,600 households across four cities and five different languages. We did something interesting in this study. We asked our interviews to rate the skin tone of everybody they talked to. And if you look at African American men who, according to the contract with America, have played by the rules in society. They've gone to school. They've stayed out of trouble with the law. They've gotten married. They speak the kings of English and all of that. They are 52 % less likely to be working. Dark skin black men who have played by the rules than light skin black men and then white men. One of the things that we have
to not be loyal to sleep on, racism is still alive and well in this country. We need to also remind those persons who are a brighter hue than we are, that okay, if we're both doing the same thing, you say you serve a God, we serve a God, who we read from the same book with just, let's play just. I think that the great James Baldwin was absolutely right when he suggested that Americans are reluctant to talk about race because it forces us to so thoroughly examine and scrutinize ourselves, not simply as a people and as a nation, but also as persons that we have been so deeply shaped by notions of whiteness. Ideals of white beauty for example, we've been deeply shaped by blackness, black people as exotic people, black people as transgressive people. We have been so deeply shaped
by black cultural products, mathematics, music, that in examining race, we're doing much more than looking at something that is external to us. But we are actually trying to explore that wilderness inside of us, call ourselves, and the link of ourselves to other cells that constitute a particular nation in country. And self -examination is a very, very painful activity, and the examination of a country looking at itself is very painful, but I think it's necessary if we are to keep a light of the best of democratic tradition. I would now like to introduce Mary Johnson, who is the educational projects manager for the center. Mary is also the senior producer of black issues forum. This year, black issues forum is going to be totally new and improved. Mary, can you tell us the difference between the old and the new? The old was an hour
show with a panel of educators and academics, and came on maybe four times a year. The new was going to be a different pace, it's 30 minutes, every Friday night at 11 p .m. All righty, and what is some, I know you just shot a show last Friday with some dynamic guest. What are some of the topics you're going to talk about this year? We're going to talk about race and race relations, business economics. We're going to talk about family issues, sisterhood, brotherhood, networking, and how people can get along with one another. Are teachers going to be able to tape this show and put it into their tape library? Yes, they're going to be very happy. We're going to allow them to have unlimited off -record rights, and they can use this every week as long as the tape survives. All righty, and if they wanted to contact you, I think we have a graphic to put up that would tell them the email addresses. And they could
just get online, as well as the World Wide Web homepage, and we hope you every success for a dynamic year this year. I'm also very happy to have with us this year, Mrs. Scott, who is with the Department of Public Instruction, and is going to tell us about school television for 1996, 97. Thanks, Mary Kay. I'm happy to be here today to share with you and our audience information about the Department of Public Instructions' new school television series, along with a sampling of what they look like. We'll also look at the student entries we received last spring in response to our video festival. We're going to showcase two new series, Readily, Deadly, and Early Reading series, and looking from the Inside Out, a series which supports your helpful living curriculum in grades 3 to 6. Both of these are new to our schedule, which include the hours between 10 .30 and 2
.30 each school day, right here over UNC TV. We refer to the schedule as school television, because we select those series, which complement the North Carolina Standard course of study. Two copies of the complete schedule, September to May, are already in your schools. The media coordinator was asked to keep one in the media center, in the Blue Video Catalog notebook, and to place one in the teacher's lounge. Look for this blue notebook. It also contains a copy of our updated staff development catalog. Video, which will help you remain current in your field, or pursue other professional interests. Among the newest series to the staff development catalog, are the telecast from the two star school series, which we in distance learning produced last year. Emerging technologies and case studies and applications. We are currently working on another series entitled, Speaking of Technology. Teachers talking to teachers.
If you're interested in participating in this series, please call us for more information. All programs will be delivered by the TIE and Satellite Network, and are interactive. All three series could assist you in meeting your technology renewal requirement, as approved by the North Carolina State Board of Education on March 14, 1996. It states, during each five -year cycle for license renewal, all North Carolina educators shall focus a portion of their training opportunities that is three to six renewal credits. On task force recommended technology competencies relevant to their licensure area, as deemed appropriate by their local school system. So contact your local staff development coordinator or personnel administrator for necessary approvals. If you would like your personal copy of the staff development catalog, you may purchase $142 plus tax by calling publication sales at
1 -800 -663 -1250. Or in the near future, you may download copies from our website at dpi .nc .state .us. Or to get a monthly schedule of all UNC television programming, including school television, you can receive centerpiece for a small donation to UNC television. Now for Readily Deadly. This is an early reading series for kindergarten through first grade that combines phonics with a whole language approach. It has been endorsed, excuse me, by the International Reading Association. It is intended to introduce young children to the alphabet and to sounds and rhyming patterns that unlock words and the meaning of words. The series of 15 programs combines original songs, animation, puppets, children, activities, picture books, and video field trips to keep the little ones focused on the sound and the
letters of the day. A teacher's guide is also available. That information is available in your school television catalog. In the state of North Carolina, we have unlimited duplication rights and perpetuity. Record it now for your personal resources collection. We will feed the series in two hour increments on Friday, September the 20th and 27th, starting at 12 o 'clock, and again on January the 3rd and 10th, starting at 12. In fact, most of our Friday schedules will spotlight new series to be fed into our increments. This is in an attempt to get the series to you as soon as possible in the school year to assist you in integrating programs and or segments into your lesson plans as you deem appropriate. The Friday schedule is part of our fall issue of the school television update. See your media coordinator for a copy. Now let's check in on Readily Didally. By the way, read is a dragon who wants to learn to read. This is program 15, The Hot Dot.
This is the story of Readily Didally, a magical dragon who lived long ago. Readily Didally loved to move speedily. So much to see, so much to know. He went to a wizard friendly and wise and said, I love to explore. Oh, wizard, can you send me all for a visit to somewhere that no dragon's been to be far. Oh, with an alacabal, a zippity -zam, a flash, a crash, a dash of speed. The wizards that readily, happy and free to a land where everyone loves to read. Readily, didally, scheduling days. What an incredible, wonderful place. Readily, didally, scheduling, now I'm going to learn to read. Read,
read, read, hello, how are you? Read, read, read, hello, how are you? Read, read, read, hello, how are you? Read, read, read, hello, how are you? I'm feeling fine. I'm feeling great. Right here and now, I want to state that though sometimes I like to roam, I'm always glad to come back home. Cause home, sweet home, it's where I like to be. With the ones I love to keep me company. I like to go outside to play. I try to do it every day. But after I've been gone a while, the thought of home just makes me smile. Cause home, sweet home is where I like to be.
With the ones I love to keep me company. Read, read, read, hello, how are you? There are all different kinds of homes. Some homes are in the city. Some homes are found in towns. Our home is really pretty. For sure the nicest one around. Animals love their homes too. A bee resides inside a hive. A Robin loves its coziness. A snail will dwell inside a shell. A bear likes a cape at best. There's no place like home. I like to take a little time to visit friends. Good friends of mine. Exploring so that I can learn. But I'm so glad when I
return. To home, sweet home, it's where I like to be. With the ones I love to keep me company. I feel very thankful for this extra special place. No matter where I roam, I know that this is my home base. But now I'm going out to see a friend or two and then I'll be heading right back home to see you all again. Readily, deedily, skidily, skate with a dragonly flash. I'm on my way. I go home when the sun goes down. But each day I work right here in town. It's a lovely summer's day here on the street. But the sun is very strong and I feel the heat. The thermometer says it's hot, hot, hot. Boy, it's hot here on this spot. So I'll use this fan, create
a little breeze. Mr. Booker, will you please tell me if there is something new, something new for me to do. Hey, I know something that'll make you smile. You do? Oh boy, oh joy, what is it? It's one of your favorite places to visit. Is it a movie? That's my guess. My answer is a definite yes. A movie is one of my favorite things. I'm off with a magical dragonly thing.

Hot teachers a valuable tool to help students sort out their feelings and to deal with problems and pressures which have greatly intensified for this age group in the last 25
years. The Teachers Guide provides a program matrix to assist teachers, parents, and counselors in selecting the program appropriate to the emotion and identify as the skills required to cut. For instance, in the clip we'll view now from the program entitled Learning to Say Know, the emotion to be dealt with is peer pressure and the skill emphasized is communication or more specifically refusal skills. This segment will provide the content for challenging the student to confront his or her feelings of being pressured. Let's watch. In front of the inside out, in front of the inside out, in front of the inside out, in front of the inside out, in front
of the inside out. In front of the inside out, in front of the inside out, in front of the inside out, in front of the inside out, in front of the inside out. What do you think you're doing? I was watching like you seeing. Man, this is definitely not cool. Come on. Man, you said you weren't really going
to do it. You said you're just going to show me how you did it. Oh, so I saw an opportunity and grabbed it. So what? So what? It's stealing. David, give me a break. Did you see all the stuff in that store? You think wooden caps are going to make any difference? I don't know. Hey, guys, the movie starts in ten minutes. What took you so long? Shocking. Wow, you really did it. Of course I did it. What's the big deal? You said you got your cap the same way? Of course I did. You get anything or are you still too scared? David's next, right, buddy? Well, well, ill. I guess. Right, right. Come on, let's go. Hi. You know, we all have times when we feel pressure to do something we don't want to do. And sometimes that pressure is about something we don't feel is right. A lot of times the pressure comes from other kids. Friends. Get you hang out with, get your one hang out with, bigger kids, whatever. It's only
natural to want it to be liked and to want to be a part of things. But when you feel you're being pushed into something you don't believe in, then you need to learn what to do about it. What will I do? The pressure is all that's true. How will I follow through? I want to be liked, but still I want to do right. I really don't have a clue. It's making me feel so blue. To go along would be untrue. I've got to say no. What am I supposed to do? What will I do? What will I do? What will I do? This would be a good Paul's point to allow your students to speculate on David's reaction
to peer pressure. And this way you transform the use of a video from the passive use to the active or interactive. This is one of 15 minute programs which fit neatly as a resource to your helpful living curriculum. It will be aired four times this year starting on October the 1st. Record it and use it. We have rights to the series until the year 2000. Again your media coordinator has the complete school television catalog. Or if you'd like your own copy it is available for $2 plus tax from North Carolina Department of Public. Instruction publication sales 1 -800 -663 -1250. Moving right along to the video festival. Each year for the last five school television has sponsored a video festival to celebrate the work of video production classes across the state. We believe that experience with this medium is a natural to the students of today. Indeed one writer parent recently lamented that his children by virtue of access to television and video games good and bad are consumers before their citizens.
So that they can make the informed judgment of a good citizen. Indeed that of a world citizen. We must give them the wherewithal to decipher the real from the make believe, the plausible from the implausible, the sound bite from the statement, the true camera view from that of a contrived angle. As they learn to master the medium, they learn to understand the constructs of that so beautifully seamless medium we know as commercial television. The slickness is broken down into a dialogue and shots, voiceovers and angles, sound effects and laugh tracks. And don't forget the skills which go into a production. Math to figure the estimated production time or the length of a segment. Writing the script, reading the script, designing visuals, operating equipment and what about collaboration. Working is a team. In the best part they all love video. I think you will see what I mean. The featured clips are from schools in Bunkham, Columbus, Hornet,
Randolph, Rockingham and Stanley counties. If you're interested in participating this year, please call me for an entry form. There will be April 16th, 1970, 1997. And this year we will broaden the festival to include multimedia presentations. Hope you all have a good year and call if you have questions about any of the things that we've covered. Now watch with me. Bye. Good morning. My name is Ashley and this
is my co -host Allison. Let's get the day started off right by standing for the pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. Hi, if you're wondering what these kiggers are doing, we're getting ready for the walkathon. It will be at the high school track April 19th, 5 .35 p .m. Students must have a permission slip to be put on the list. If you're interested in this, go see Ms. Hyatt on the sixth grade hall in the E .C. Good morning and welcome to Bailwood News and Todd Lockings reporting. Today is Friday, April 26th, 1996. On this day in history, today is over then. Today is also the school's t -shirt that I have you remember to roll the t -shirt. Let's see her. John and R will be played by Robert
Stanley. Mr. Melda was played by Abby Lowe. Class and orbit is the path of the planet for other objects around the Sun. I knew that. I get all aids in school. The earnings of a TV broadcast technician varies. Education experience have great influence on salaries. Most broadcast technicians earn from $10 ,000 to $34 ,000 a year. Introducing Steve Gordon, self -employed producer director, TV presentations. My name is Steve Gordon and I have about 35 years experience in radio television production from University of Michigan. They know to drugs. Don't never let anybody convince your friends to do drugs. Never take drugs. It might hurt you or you might even die.
Alright, come on man. He travels down the road to his real love, his baseball field, where dreams have come true. His love and affection for the game of baseball started four decades ago and he was a batboy on his father's semi -protein. We didn't have a coach to get us our team started. So they came and asked me if I would get started. They would get someone else to take it if I didn't want it if I just get it started. So it's been 30 years later and I'm still there with him. I'm still there with him. I'm still there with him. I'm still there with him.
Many schools do not have the excellent quality equipment that we here at UNCTB have. We apologize for the condition of some of the video but we did feel that was very important for you to see the different efforts students around the states are making. For more information on this, here up on the screen is the address of the Department of Public Instruction distance learning systems. You can write and call them. And now many changes are ahead here for the fall season. Our program director Diane Lucas would like to tell you about some of them. Hello. I have an important message for children who watch Ghost Rider and their parents. Public Television's broadcast of Ghost Rider will end in early September. The children's television workshop producers of Ghost Rider have searched long and hard to find new national underwriting for the series. Sadly, they have not found enough underwriting
support to continue to make Ghost Rider available to public television stations, including hours. All of us at UNCTB have enjoyed presenting this popular series to you and wish we could continue to do so. But UNCTB's Ghost Rider broadcast will end with our 12 .30pm broadcast on Monday, September 2nd. Thanks for watching. The good news now. You all know Arthur, the beloved Art Vark, from Mark Brown's best -selling children's books. Well, he's public television's newest star. Join him on Saturdays, beginning October 12th at 9 .30am. And yes, you may tape him and put him in your video library for one year. The same with the Crats Brothers and Crats Creatures, which has already gathered quite a following here in UNCTB. The author writes for that a one year. It's a busy but exciting year here at UNCTB. And we do hope that you will start integrating television into your curriculum. One show
that we haven't mentioned is High School Assembly, which will be back on the year on October 10th. In this time, we're going to have students from across the state discussing how to watch a presidential debate. Now, for this, an information about all the other projects that we here at Educational Services have. Here is our address, our email address, and our telephone number. Do remember what Plato said. Those carrying the torch have the obligation to pass it on. Do have a good school year. . .
