NBC News provides historical footage to K-12 educators for fall term
Aug 17, 2007 9:50 AM
NBC News is opening its video vault of more than 60 years of historical news
archives and supplemental resources to support primary and secondary education.
The network news organization is working with HotChalk, a Web 2.0 learning
community for teachers, students and parents, to provide teachers with content
specifically created for classroom instruction.
More than 5000 video resources from NBC News will be made available via HotChalk
to supplement instruction in a wide range of courses. For example, history classes
will be able to watch footage of the civil rights movement, and science students can
see recreated footage of the Ice Age. The footage will become available to teachers
for the fall 2007 semester.
Using NBC News' production services, the new digital educational content released
Aug. 14 includes additional NBC archive materials and several hundred videos
created in collaboration with historians, textbook authors and other experts on a
wide range of topics dating from the dawn of history to the 1930s when NBC began
its archive. Teachers will also be able to access additional primary source content,
original audio, video and third-party content, such as articles from the “Washington
Post,” and current material from "NBC Nightly News" and "Meet the Press."
