2009 is the Year of Astronomy.  EnhanceTV has an extensive list of programs which may assist in the teaching of the topic in the classroom.

Lost Worlds: Preshistoric Astronomers - The Paleolithic cave printings at Lascaux, France, have long been seen as astonishing examples of the artistic capacity of prehistoric cultures. But are they more then that? It is commonly known that 35,000 years ago, humans were brutish and primitive and their main activities were copulation, hunting and gathering. But what if this prehistoric human was clever enough to develop in depth scientific knowledge?

In the EnhanceTV Community,, Kay Pavlou, (director of many TV documentaries and drama), writes in her new blog about how observational documentaries really work and what goes on behind the scenes. And the Copyright Council's blogs tell us the in's and out's of using YouTube, and Compilations for educational purposes.

There are 23 other blogs & 11 upcoming events. You are welcome to post articles, comments, links and research, or initiate blogs and discussions on the site, so please feel free to share whatever currently interests you about teaching with TV.  Why not join us and introduce yourself in our new "Introductions" Forum?

Refugees face many issues as they try and start a new life in a new country. Often they face the prospect of a culture shock as their views and beliefs are conflicting.
