Abstract

Designed to help instructional technology building coordinators with the integration of television, radio, and computer resources into their schools' curricula, this guide/calendar is designed for use throughout the year as a scheduling aid and reference manual. The first of two major sections covers approximately 35 topics, including the following major areas: how comprehensive planning ensures effective use of instructional technology; suggested resource allocations for grades Pre-K through 6; inservice planning; a list of utilization consultants; tasks to be performed for each segment of the academic year (checklists); elements contributing to the success of instructional television; procedures to check when equipment malfunctions; purchasing, maintenance, and safety precautions for television sets and VCRs; off-air taping for classroom use; physical considerations for using instructional television; copyright restrictions, guidelines, and programming for school personnel; scheduling television set use; computers and instructional technology; district policy on software copyright; and copyright amendments relevant to microcomputer software. The second part is a calendar for the academic year 1990-91 which lists the names of educational television programs and the times they are on the air each month. Reminders are pre-printed for holidays and for various state department functions. A 6-item annotated bibliography on educational television is included. (DB)
