smARTtv
SERIES BRINGS ARTS, CULTURE AND SCIENCE INTO THE CLASSROOM
smARTtv logoDetroit Public Television has joined forces with Wayne RESA (Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency) and 14 cultural institutions in southeast Michigan to create smARTtv, a series of teleconferences and videos distributed directly to Wayne County schools, primarily to grades five through eight. For information on purchasing the smARTmedia kit, contact Bob Kaminski at Wayne RESA at (734) 334-1357.
SmARTtv programs draw on the resources of such cultural institutions as the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit Zoo, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Detroit Symphony Orchestra and others to create "electronic field trips" and achieve educational goals set by the Michigan Curriculum Framework.
Detroit Public Television itself was the subject of one of the first programs (11/30/99) as it took students behind the scenes to see how smARTtv is created and to explore careers in television production.
SmARTtv is presented as part of Detroit Public Television's mission to provide programs and services that teach and inspire.
