NSF Press release: Television That's Good for You
Excerpts:
"Supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), three of the most-viewed programs – ZOOM, Cyberchase and DragonflyTV – now share the airwaves with PEEP and the Big Wide World, a novel show that teaches toddlers to think like scientists."
"The mystery-adventure cartoon is a vehicle for teaching mathematics and problem-solving, with action centering around three kids and their avian sidekick Digit. . . .The kids use mathematics to foil their nemesis, Hacker. . ."
"Each weekly show introduces a new group of middle-school students from across the country as they conduct scientific investigations of favorite activities—-from soccer-kicking experiments to studies of malformed frogs in back yards."
Got news from one of the stations? Send it to Big Dead Place. Do you witness interesting Antarctic activities that somehow just don't seem sensational enough for Newsweek or People magazine? Send them to Big Dead Place. Have you ever wondered why a hundred media events overshadow millions of daily events? Because you didn't yet write to Big Dead Place. You know things. We promise anonymity.
