Upcoming Media Lab
Workshops at KET

Throughout September we will be offering free evening workshops on the following topics: Basic Classroom Video with a Scientific Focus, Basic Video Editing, Do It Yourself Electronic Field Trips, and Greenscreen Video Effects for Video Projects.

We hope you'll join us to explore ways to make learning exciting, meaningful, and memorable through multimedia production. All workshops are free and open for students and educators. They are presented in the Media Lab at the KET Network Center in Lexington. (KET will also bring multimedia workshops to your school. Contact your education consultant for more information.)

For more information on the specific workshops, a full workshop schedule, and to learn to how to register visit the KET Media Lab Website.

The Cat in the Hat

PBS KIDS and Random House join to support science learning for preschoolers with The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! premiering Monday, Sept. 6 at 8:30/7:30 CT am on KET.

Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat guides friends Sally and Nick – with a little help from the Fish, Thing 1 and Thing 2 – on fun-filled adventures where they make natural-science discoveries, from how bees make honey to why owls sleep during the day.

Visit the Cat in the Hat section at PBS Teachers where you'll find many teacher resources including an explorer’s guide and activities by title and topic. View the full broadcast schedule.

A Revolution in
Teaching History!

This fall KET will offer FREE teacher training in the use of an interactive online game For Crown or Colony?. The game was developed by WNET.ORG as part of its MISSION US initiative, which will release four games for teaching U.S. history over the next few years.

In For Crown or Colony? students play as Nat Wheeler, a printer's apprentice in Boston before the American Revolution. Students meet and interact with historical and fictional characters, witness the Boston Massacre, and ultimately, decide where Nat's loyalties lie.

For more information about the MISSION US initiative, the For Crown or Colony? game, and the FREE trainings, visit the KET Mission US Web site, e-mail or contact your KET Education Consultant.
