Television resource teachers look at new TV Ontario programming for students By Rod Hilts Nine years ago the Huron County Board of Education began incorporating TV Ontario (TVO) programs into their elementary schools. Today learning through TVO has expanded to the point where the board has designated one teacher on each elementary school staff to act as a television resource teacher i TRT I. On Oct. 20 the board held a special tune-up session in Clinton, where 28 TRTs took a look at some new programming and ways of developing existing material. According to Dave Bieman, the media co- ordinator for the board, educational televi- sion is becoming a basic part of kids and compares it to "what parents remember as books." He said TVO resources have grown and improved significantly in nine years. "TVO resources keep getting better and better. I used to know every program TVO offered but now they must have over 1,300. 1 obviously don't know them all," Mr. Bieman said. The board purchases the programs from 1 s,0 nut much of we costs are offset by a Ministry of Education and a Ministry of Culture grant. TVO is funded through grants from the provincial ministries of Citizenship and Culture, Education and Colleges and Universities. Public memberships and cor- porations also partially fund the network. Presently more than 4,000 English and French TRT's, in almost 100 Ontario school boards, provide a personal link between the province's educational television network and more than 70,000 elementary and secon- dary schools. In most cases, the TRT is usually the school librarian, but may also be a teacher, or the principal. Most TVO programming is produced in series form, and like a book, of- fers a cumulative learning experience. The programming is also tied to the Ministry of Education curriculum guidelines and are classroom -tested to ensure student com- prehension and is suitable to grade level. Caroline Young, the utilization officer for TVO, said Huron County was one of the first in the province to use the TRT system of filtering information systematically from TVO to the teachers. She is quick to point out that television isn't taking over the teacher's role. 'Don't get the idea television is replacing the teacher. It's the doing not the viewing that counts," said Mrs. Young. Since many curriculum -related TVO series require interaction while viewing, the teacher must guide the viewing experience rather than just sit back and let the class watch. For the past three years, the Huron Board of Education has been using TVO services to a larger extent. With the increased amount of television children watch, TVO program- ming produces educational guides to extend critical viewing. Some of the more popular TVO school pro- gramming includes Read All About It, High Pressure Washers If you hove vinyl or aluminum siding and soffits to clean. .here's the answer. John Deere Model A18 high pressure washer. Nothing can compare to a John Deere high pressure washer for reliability and years of trouble free use. Ideal for cleaning cars trucks and farm machinery. TVRO SATELLITE OPEN HOUSE 4,16 models to choose from - priced from Parlez-moi and MathMakers. Read All About It is a series aimed at developing comprehension and vocabulary. Surveys in- dicated that junior students using this learn- ing system gained significantly more in vocabulary and comprehension than those who had not used the material. Parlez-moi is a series created for intermediate students studying French as a second language. MathMakers is a series of programs that supports the junior math curriculum. The series encourages enthusiasm for math and relates math to the world. Teachers who us- ed the series with their junior classes say they intend to continue using it because of their students' increased learning and retention of mathematical skills and con- cepts. One of the key items on the Oct. 20 tune-up session agenda was a new TVO production entitled Artscape, an eight -part series designed for the junior art curriculum. Each part takes a theme and is a strong component to help children develop their own art so that they can better understand their environment. In summing up the impact TVO program- ming has had on the students in Huron Coun- ty, Mr. Bieman said that the schools are for- tunate to have support from the board. "TVO programs and support have helped our teachers accept the reality of TV in our society in a way that is meaningful to kids in the classroom," said Mr. Bieman.
