PeachStar Changes Georgia's Classrooms

Less than a generation ago, the typical classroom experience in Georgia consisted of a lecture by the teacher, some "chalk talk," and an occasional class discussion. Multimedia, where it existed at all, meant a 16 mm film projector, a record player and, perhaps, an overhead projector. In fact, most teachers had few resources of any kind that they could use to illustrate or enhance traditional class-room activities.
That situation has changed dramatically in recent years. Today, teachers have a tremendous array of multimedia resources at their disposal, and, as a result, classroom instruction is more interesting, relevant and effective than ever before. The biggest change of all has been in the area of satellite distance learning. The satellite makes it possible for every school to access quality educational programming in every subject area. Satellite distance learning is a revolution, and PeachStar Education Services is proud to be on the front lines.
PeachStar has had great success for the past three years, setting in place the hardware and software that have enabled Georgia to become one of the nation's leading users and producers of satellite delivered education services. That posture will serve our state well in the future, as schools rely more and more on the quality, innovation and diversity of instruction delivered via satellite and other distance learning technologies.
An Overview of Accomplishments Three years ago the Governor and state legislature decided that Georgia would get into satellite learning in a big way. Under the supervision of Georgia Public Broadcasting's new PeachStar Education Services Division, satellite dishes and other receiving equipment were purchased and installed at every public school, adult technical institute, college, university and regional library in the state. That's more than 2,200 sites in all, the largest education satellite network in any state in the nation. The dishes make it possible for schools to access

programming from dozens of satellites and scores of quality education program providers.
Meanwhile, Education Services began acquiring instructional programming to air direct to Georgia schools over the PeachStar Channel, housed on the state's transponder on telecommunications satellite TELSTAR 401. We contracted with some of the leading distance learning providers in the world, making it possible for Georgia schools to access quality programming for a fraction of the usual cost.
We also began to produce some of our own programming including Count On It!, a mathematics series for elementary grade students; Georgia Stories I and II, a history series for eighth graders; and Irasshai, a Japanese foreign language and culture course that students may take for high school or college credit. Schools continue using Georgia Stories, a big hit with teachers and students and a winner of many regional, national and international awards for excellence. Count On It! and Irasshai were piloted last school year and are being offered to schools around the nation this year. Both have already earned widespread acclaim from educators as well as national producers and distributors of educational programming. And the best news is, these three series are available not only to Georgia schools but to all Georgians who have television sets. Count On It!, Georgia Stories and Irasshai can now be seen on GPTV weekday afternoons.
Then, this past year, we implemented a dramatic upgrade of our technological network. The original receiving equipment installed in schools was based on the tried and true analog technology. About a year ago, the legislature appropriated funds to convert our receiving equipment to accommodate the emerging digital technology as well. In August, technicians began revisiting schools, installing the upgrades that make it possible for sites to

receive analog and digital channels. That conversion was completed in November, and Georgia Public Broadcasting has already began transmitting GPTV and PeachStar digitally. Why? For starters, digital signals deliver far superior picture and audio. More significantly, many more digital signals can fit on to a satellite transponder. Before, the state had the ability to transmit two analog channels; we now have the potential to transmit more than a dozen digital channels. The implications for programming are tremendous, and GPB is already exploring ways to fill those extra channels with quality educational and public service programming.
Currently, PeachStar is developing a pilot series to teach Spanish language and culture to students in primary grades. A middle school civics course is also in the works, as is a science series for second, third and sixth graders. At the same time we are increasingly serving other state agencies who are looking to satellite distance learning to meet their huge training needs. Those needs can be

met more effectively and much more economically by satellite.
While all the above has been going on, PeachStar staff have been traveling the state, providing staff development to media specialists, teachers, curriculum specialists and administrators. We're showing educators how they can most effectively use satellite programming to offer their students greater educational opportunities. We presented many more workshops to parents throughout the state, showing them how their children can get the most educationally from Barney, Mr. Rogers, Wishbone and all of the other characters and shows that make up the PBS Ready-To-Learn daytime schedule. In all, PeachStar delivered training to more than 13,000 Georgia educators and parents during 1996. We're even branching out from the satellite to the Internet. This is our second year coordinating Georgia's participation in MATHLINE, an online staff development service for mathematics teachers.
PeachStar also coordinates Going the Distance, a cooperative effort with Clayton State College that, beginning

in fall1997, will make it possible for adults to earn a college degree via distance learning. A new initiative, Solutions, from the Educational Management Group (EMG), is now being piloted in Georgia at three sites. Solution sites feature specially designed, state-of-the-art classroom settings that allow classes to take maximum advantage of distance learning and other instructional technologies.
It's been a great half year for PeachStar Education Services. And that means it's been a great year for the future of public education in Georgia. Satellite programming can never replace the classroom teacher. But these offerings can serve as an invaluable resource that all teachers can use to greatly supplement and enhance regular classroom activities. As we begin 1997, our state has become the national leader in satellite distance learning. That gives Georgia teachers an important advantage as they continue to prepare our students for success in the 21st century.

It's BeHer Than Ever! Count On It!

Many teachers and other Pipeline readers have probably noticed that Count On It!, the award-winning mathematics series for elementary school students, has been expanded and improved. The new and revised episodes of Count On It! have been airing this fall on PeachStar. Beginning in January, the updated series also can be seen on weekday afternoons on GPTV, as well as at regularly scheduled times on PeachStar. Now all Georgia children, along with their parents, siblings and friends, can learn more about math in the real world by watching Count On It! at home.
The stars of the series are two puppets, Blossom the Possum and Snappy the Snail, who, with a little help from their human friend Robbie, show young students how mathematical principles are an intricate part of our everyday world. The series was piloted last year and for the past several months has been available to public schools across the state via PeachStar. The pilot elicited praise,

evaluations and suggestions from teachers and curriculum specialists,

Guest Columnist
Kay Hollifield, Barrow County Schools
(Ms. Hollifield, a first grade teacher at County Line Elementary School in Barrow County, was kind enough to send these thoughts to us.)
In today's classrooms, we, as teachers, have to compete with video games, television and computers. To motivate my students, I constantly search for unique and innovative techniques and interesting content. I use the PeachStar Pipeline and PeachStar Program Guide to locate the valuable distance learning programs broadcast over satellite. COUNT ON IT! is one highly innovative program that has really complemented many of my mathematics lessons.
The programs pull in real-life experiences to which my students can relate. My students loved watching Blossom and Snappy throw skee ball and add up points. Students shared their experiences playing skee ball and other games. We then made a bean bag toss game, played the game, added up our scores and made the connection to the skee ball game in the broadcast.
COUNT ON IT! uses a variety of strategies and activities to involve students in fun ways of learning mathematics. Since I cannot take my students on a real field trip for every topic we study, I use distance learning electronic field trips. By bringing experts to my classroom via satellite, students are enlightened about jobs, careers are studied, and students see and hear about how mathematics is used by people in their jobs. By having distance learning at my fingertips, my class may look inside factories, visit farms and outer space, or see areas that they may never have a chance to visit "in person."
COUNT ON IT! programs include different levels learning and can be adapted for individual differences. Students feel a part of the program when they do activities before, with, or after viewing. The problems at the end of the lessons leave a desire for my students to continue to seek answers and look forward to the next COUNT ON IT! lesson.
Using distance learning in the classroom is just another way to include technology in the learning process. As Snappy and Blossom guide my students through the mathematics learning process, the students enjoy the math lessons and know that their future mathematics learning is going to be relevant, fun, and exciting.

1997 World's Largest Concert
Launches Music in Our Schools Month

The 1997 World's Largest Concert is a national celebration of music in our schools and K-12 students with interest in all manner of making music (i.e., bands, choirs, orchestras, etc.) and their teachers are practicing selected numbers throughout the year in preparation. This broadcast connects these students from across the country in one grand, simultaneous singalong performance of those musical numbers, thus achieving "the world's largest concert."
This year's Concert launches Music In Our Schools Month (MIOSM), an outreach program of Music Educator's National Conference (MENC). The purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of school music education. The theme of 1997's MIOSM is "MusicIt's Worth It!". This theme was chosen to reflect the MENC convictions that: the study of music is worth the time, efforts and financial resources of schools and communities; that musical study in school leads to lifelong pleasure and achievement; and that music itself is intrinsically valuable.
Hosting the international celebration of music, kids and schools will be not one but five extraordinary musical talents - the Canadian Brass, the famed brass quintet which has practically patented its unique blend of artistic excellence and fun-loving entertainment.
Sharing the stage of the Desert Sky Pavillion in Phoenix, AZ, with the Canadian Brass will be two accomplished local student groups: Dobson High School (Mesa) Symphony Orchestra, Rich Christiansen, conductor, and Tempe School District No. 3's Fifth Grade Honor Choir, Kim Ochsner, director, and James Asmus, accompanist.
The 1997 "World's Largest Concert" will feature the following musical selections:

"Carriers of the Light" (Jerry Estes/Alfred Publishing Co., Inc.); "Flying Free" (Don Besig/Shawnee Press, Inc.); and "I Walk In Beauty" (Arlienne Nofschissey-Williams/ Transcribed by Kay Edwards). And from MENC's campaign to "Get America Singing Again," there will be "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" (James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson/Arranged by Jim Christensen/Hal Leonard Publishing) and "From Sea to Shining Sea" (Katherine Lee Bates and Samuel A. Ward/Paraphrased by Maurice C. Whitney/Warner Bros. Inc.)
MENC, with more than 70,000 members, is the world's largest arts education organization. It is dedicated to the advancement of music education at the national and local levels. MENC's activities and resources have been largely responsible for the establishment of music education as a profession, for the promotion and guidance of music study as an integral part of the school curriculum, and for the development of the National Standards for Arts Education.
Information and a teacher's guide with reproducible student music, piano accompaniments and performance instructions is now available from MENC.
Write to: WLC Coordinator, MENC 1806 Robert Fulton Drive
Reston, VA 22901 (and enclose $3 for shipping.)
PeachStar is pleased to be making this broadcast available to Georgia Schools and hopes that this three-month advance notice gives teachers ample time to prepare and particiapte to the fullest.

Videoconference #3
Exposing the Naked Truth: Use and Abuse of the Internet
Airs January 23 2:30- 4:00p.m. On the PBS Transponder
The third videoconference of this series provided free of charge to all Georgia's public colleges, universities, and technical institutes will air on the PBS transponder. Satellite coordinates, the facilitator's guide and participant handouts will be mailed directly to campus contact persons from the Adult Learning Service (ALS). This topic is timely and should prove very informative for postsecondary faculties. The videoconference is a live, interactive broadcast; however, institutions have permission to tape the broadcast for viewing on a delayed basis.
The videoconference will address potential problems and controversies for postsecondary institutions that provide Internet access. Complex issues will be examined that arise when institutions attempt to define policies delineating allowable Internet use, including:
academic freedom institutional liability freedom of speech censorship the implications of new telecommunications law the role of the Internet in instruction and research Panelists will represent a variety of perspectives on these issues and will include legal experts, university administrators and faculty, and Internet experts. This is an excellent opportunity for a faculty exchange. Don't miss it!
