GED Test Readiness:  The GED test is changing - it's an entirely new test in 2014. Public television plays an important role in this area of education services, and KET leads the way:  [More]
 

NSDL Math Pathway Project
NETA sits on Advisory Committee at request of MPT for the 3-year project
to establish and operate an elementary math path for the National Science Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Digital Library (NSDL). The primary target is elementary classroom teachers and will involve creating online digital content and establishment of a resource and research website.

PBS LearningMedia
NETA served on a project Strategic Planning Committee to create a single 
(flexible, tiered, locally-focused) model which will enable public broadcasters to deliver a set of 21st-century learning services from a shared digital media repository. Every station will be able to offer PBS LearningMedia, a free digital education service for local districts and schools. Combining content from the PBS Digital Learning Library, WGBH Teacher’s Domain, and a wealth of local station and producer content partners, PBS LearningMedia will provide thousands of rich, interactive, purpose-built digital learning objects for teachers and students. The new platform will build on public media strengths, giving stations a unique, local education service with classroom-ready, curriculum-targeted, and multi-platform content that educators and schools in your community need and want.
  
eLearning for Educators
NETA participates with APTV, NHPTV, WVPB, WLVT, MPB, KET,
KETC,  UNC-TV, MPT, and WHYY in five-year grant developing online
teacher professional development courses.  NETA serves on the advisory
board and delivers professional learning at annual Academy  (Link)
  
PBCore Resource Group 
NETA serves on voluntary advisory group to promote and maintain the
development of pubcasting’s metadata dictionary.  PBCore is designed
to provide for  television, radio and Web activities, a standard way of
describing and using data, allowing content to be more easily retrieved
and shared among colleagues, software systems, institutions, community and production partners, private citizens, and educators.
Such a standard is pivotal to applying the real power of digital technology
to meet the mission of public broadcasting. (link)

National Association for  Media Literacy Education (NAMLE)
NETA participated in a focus group with national and local education leaders to establish a Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education for release at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.  Videos, lesson plans, and curriculum materials are found at www.mediaeducationlab.com
