RAHS Cable in the Classroom
Cable in the Classroom is a public service program where cable networks such as CNN, Discovery, A&E, and Nickelodeon set aside a portion of their on-air schedule to air commercial-free programming on subjects as varied as science, art history, math, literature, and world events. Some of the programming is created specifically for a network's Cable in the Classroom offering (i.e. CNN's daily half hour CNN Newsroom/WorldView program), while other networks, such as A&E, often reformat documentaries or other programs from their regular schedule into "teacher-friendly" modules. All of the programs are copyright cleared so schools can build their own video libraries.
To view an online listing of upcoming programming, go to the Cable in the Classroom website. For information on recording these programs, please contact Technology Services at x8476.
