Have You Heard About Chalkwaves?

KEDT has tested the delivery of a new educational service, KEDT Chalkwaves.  Ten area school districts participated in a pilot project using KEDT’s Chalkwaves and we are proud that KEDT’s collaboration with area districts was chosen as the state’s first pilot project for this exciting digital television technology.  Chalkwaves is the next generation of instructional programming.  It’s digital video that flows from your high-speed Local Area Network (LAN), NOT the Internet.  Quality content matters, this is why PBS staff and School Media Specialists annually select the 22,000-clip collection (1,300 titles) from an array of educational video publishers.  It’s the “greatest hits” of the K-12 digital-video world.  Students learn in a variety of ways and Chalkwaves’ barrier-free approach enables them to fulfill their needs immediately --- without advanced downloading, Internet congestion, fuzzy/jumpy images, or Internet bandwidth expenses.  Imagine an encyclopedia of quality video enriching your students’ learning environment, instantly, like water from the tap.
