In April of 1952, the Federal Communications Commission allocated 242 channels—162 UHF and 80 VHF—for noncommercial, educational use. WOSU TV was one of the first 30 educational stations to go on the air. In Ohio, eight public television stations were licensed, strategically located to cover the entire state to make instructional programming (ITV) available to schools, kindergarten to 12th grade.
With digital technology, WOSU TV is moving beyond the typical over-the-air broadcast of educational programming to provide K-12 teachers what they really need to use media in the classroom.

Teaching Science to the MTV Generation
Teaching Science to the MTV Generation is a professional development module for high school science teachers. It draws from the expertise of Dr. Susan Fisher, Professor of Entomology at The Ohio State University. Dr. Fisher believes in the multimodal approach in teaching and learning. Collaborating with professionals across disciplines, she has created a series of learning objects that explain scientific phenomena in many modalities: aural, visual, kinesthetic—in dance, in music, in computer graphics. Here are some of the learning objects produced by these collaborations.
DANCING DNA
