The Points of VIEW project, a collaborative partnership of Time Warner Cable, Albany Division, C-SPAN Cable Network, Project VIEW of the Schenectady City School District and the National Council for Social Studies, developed a model for standards based social studies curriculum that relies on advanced broadband capabilities, expansive educational and public affairs programming content and state-of-the-art interactive videoconferencing technology. The prototype program, which focuses on Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency, succeeds in raising student achievement by incorporating new combinations of technology and content in its design and delivery that includes interactive content using on C-SPAN resources.
