Closed Circuit System/Video Distribution

Well like all the other technologies, we do not have this one either. I really feel that we are very much in the background with our technology. I had to check with some of the other schools in the county and one of them responded back to me. Several years ago the school had a connections class that offered video production. They would do the morning news over the closed circuit system. That was disbanded and the equipment was removed as well. They do use Channel One in the afternoons but other than that they use it for movies. An example would be the social studies classes that would need to see Gone With The Wind but there is only one copy so they could show it and all the classes could watch. The media specialist can play it in the media center, tell the teacher what channel and all can see. At one time they use to have Dish Network but that to has been dropped so Georgia Public Broadcasting can not be seen either.
At our school the teachers can access United Streaming through the computers with access codes and play movies that relate to some sort of standard for the students to watch. The computers are connected to the TV with an Avery Key device.
I looked through the GPB website and there are alot of interesting things that would be available for the teachers to access. I like the way that you can find standards for the things that are provided on the site.
Maybe one of these days our district will offer some of the technologies that we have learned about in the course.
