CLASSROOM W

Johnson County teacher named 2014 PBS Digital Innovator

HEN LATONYA ROWE LOOKS AT TECHNOLOGY, SHE DOESN’T SEE HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, WIFI, OR SCREENS. SHE SEES UNLIMITED EDUCATIONAL POSSIBILITIES FOR OPENING UP NEW WORLDS FOR HER FOURTH GRADERS IN JOHNSON COUNTY.

Januar y 2015

LaTonya Rowe

LATONYA ROWE’S CLASSROOM is a busy place, where students work individually, in small groups, with paper and pencil, and with screens big and small. But it’s an organized place, where Rowe, a Johnson County native who comes from a family of teachers, has looked at the explosion of technology that’s occurred in the past 10 years and seized upon ingenious ways to apply it to her everyday instruction.

“I often dream of being the ‘great and powerful Oz’ and giving my students the wisdom to utilize their brain to retain as much information as possible,” said LaTonya Rowe, who teaches fourth grade at Highland Elementary.

“I always stress the importance of having a heart for learning and striving to learn something new each and every day.”

In 2014 Rowe was named a PBS Digital Innovator in recognition of her efforts to harness technology and, like the Wizard of Oz, help her students discover and learn in exponentially new ways.

“I often joke if I had one more of me I could accomplish so much in my room,” she said.

And thanks to technology, she does. Rowe has found ways to use podcasts, QR codes, and a variety of educational software to keep parents informed, pre-record instruction so that kids can view it either at school or at home — and even give students a virtual ride-along with her brother, Tracy Taylor, a social studies teacher turned trucker, right into her classroom.

“I like to introduce something and let the kids just run with it,” Rowe said.

“If they’re interested in it, they learn a greater amount of information than I could ever just put out there for them.”

Rowe’s long association with KET has supplemented her interest in using technology in the classroom.

Like most educators in Kentucky, she makes frequent use of KET EncycloMedia to access videos and lesson plans to introduce or enhance her lessons. And like many a teacher in remote locations, she takes advantage of KET’s professional development resources to get needed training without expensive travel.

Most recently, Rowe accessed KET’s expertise to launch a student broadcast club, which produces “week in review” videos including student interviews requiring shooting, editing, and other technical skills.

“Every teacher dreams of the places they could take their students if only they had the equipment and the means,” said Rowe.

“I envision computer programming, development of apps, creating modes, project-based learning, and more. I am building a classroom that will entice and awaken the digital innovator hidden inside each of my 72 students,” she said.

“The possibilities are endless!”

PBS seeks innovative educators Teachers: Are you using digital media and technology to lead innovation in your school? Then apply now through Feb. 11 to be a 2015 PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovator.

Whether you are flipping your classroom, integrating tablets and mobile devices, using game-based learning, or introducing another technology, we want to hear from you.

Those selected will receive one year of free PD including virtual trainings, access to exclusive resources and events, membership into a robust professional learning community,

and an expenses-paid two-day trip to Philadelphia preceding the ISTE conference. Apply at to.pbs.org/digin

KET provides bounty of digital resources When PBS LearningMedia launched in early 2013, KET — along with WGBH/ Boston and WNET/New York — became a contributing partner. Since then, more than 1,900 KET-produced videos, interactives, images, and other media have been uploaded to the service.

Here’s a sampling of the engaging KET resources that help teachers like LaTonya Rowe become digital innovators. And they’re all available free to parents and families, too!

Clouds and Weather Part of KET’s Everyday Science collection for preschoolers, this stop-motion animated video is a fun way to introduce different types of clouds to young children.

Math + Arts Twenty-five imaginative lessons for grades K-8 help teachers use the arts to teach math concepts. For example, second graders create a paper quilt based on geometry, fourth graders learn about fractions through rhythmic sequences, and eighth graders use graphing to choreograph a dance.

Think Garden Designed for grades 3-5, these 18 short videos explore the art and science of growing food. Students learn about the water cycle, photosynthesis, mulching and composting, garden pests and helpers, and much more.

News Quiz Collection News Quiz, KET’s current events show for grades 4-8, is now in its 30th year. And since last fall, the most recent episodes have been available on PBS LearningMedia for streaming or download.

Think Math Games, logic-based interactives, and word problem visualizations provide entertaining, effective ways for students in grades 5-8 to master proportions, ratios, and fraction multiplication and division.

Thickens

What secrets will be revealed in the new season?

Januar y 2015

Abbey” returns for an “Downton epic fifth season of intimately

interlaced stories centered on an English country estate — a deliciously entertaining formula that has made it the highest-rated drama in PBS history.

“Our cast and crew have been immersed in the world of Downton for the last five years and it is a thrill to have seen it grow in popularity in the United States to become one of the most watched shows on television,” said Gareth Neame, the series’ executive producer.

“Viewers can expect all the highs and lows, the heady mix of drama, romance and comedy, and plenty of new surprises.”

Season 5 recently completed its run in the UK, where it remains the most popular drama on ITV. The series’ many honors include 10 Emmys, two Golden Globes, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. Season 4 received 12 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series.

Viewers can expect to follow plot threads left dangling from last season, including Lady Mary’s courtship contest, Lady Edith’s trials as a secret single mom, schemes against Bates,

Robert’s battles against modernity, Tom’s quest to be true to his ideals, Violet’s one-line zingers, and much, much more.

One of the recurring themes of “Downton Abbey” is change, from the wrenching consequences of the Titanic disaster in Season 1 to a notorious automobile accident at the end of Season 3 — plus World War I, women’s rights, and the new morals, inventions, and fashions of the 1920s.

And this is where Season 5 kicks off. It’s 1924. The United Kingdom has its first Labor Party prime minister.

The radio is the latest miracle of the age. And Downton’s traditional ways are besieged on all fronts, as evidenced by this exchange between the head housekeeper, Mrs. Hughes, and the butler, Mr. Carson: “We’re catching up, Mr. Carson.

Whether you like it or not, Downton is catching up with the times we live in,” says the forward-thinking Mrs. Hughes.

“That’s exactly what I’m afraid of!” the butler retorts.

The new season features returning stars Maggie Smith (the Dowager Countess), Hugh Bonneville (Lord Grantham), Michelle Dockery

(Lady Mary), and Elizabeth McGovern (Cora).

Plus, the acclaimed ensemble is joined by guest stars Harriet Walter (Atonement), reprising her role as Lady Shackleton, and Peter Egan (Death at a Funeral), who returns as Lord Flintshire, together with completely new characters played

by Richard E. Grant (Girls), Anna Chancellor (The Hour), and Rade Sherbedgia (24).

Party like a Crawley Wish you could time-travel and live in the world of Downton Abbey?

We’ve got the next best thing.

Make plans now to attend our Fabby Abbey Ball at the grand country mansion Spindletop Hall in Lexington on Saturday, April 25. There will be food, chamber music, cocktails, a best-dressed and best hat contest, some entertaining takes on the series, dancing to a live band, and much more.

As the 29-year-old editor of the weekly Tabor City Tribune, he risked everything to protest the Klan’s racist rhetoric and vigilantism. His reports and the weekly editorials helped lead to the first FBI investigation of the Klan during that era and to the arrest and conviction of nearly 100 Klansmen. Narrated by Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman.

His body was never found. Bush was a victim of a sinkhole — a growing worldwide hazard that lurks wherever limestone and other water-soluble rocks underpin the soil (like beneath Bowling Green's Corvette Museum). With compelling eyewitness video of dramatic collapses, and following scientist experts, Nova investigates what it’s like to have your world vanish beneath your feet.

SHORT TAKES Today’s KET: A new year As we greet the new year, KET is celebrating a robust 2014 and looking forward to offering you a line-up of new programming that we hope you’ll enjoy.

This past year, KET was recognized with many awards, including a record 13 Emmy Award nominations and three Emmy Awards.

Renee Shaw was honored by the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy for her work on Prison State: A Kentucky Community Conversation.

KET also received national recognition with two awards from the National Educational Telecommunications Association.

In public affairs, this past year marked the 40th anniversary of the venerable Comment on Kentucky and the 20th anniversary of Kentucky Tonight with Bill Goodman, which hosted the only statewide candidate forum in the 2014 U.S. Senate race.

As lawmakers return to Frankfort this winter, KET will again provide coverage of the Kentucky General Assembly. We invite you to follow the legislative process on KET’s Kentucky Channel, as well as on KET.org and with our popular Legislative Coverage App for iPhone and iPad. Returning for a much anticipated fifth season is Masterpiece’s “Downton Abbey,” in addition to the new Masterpiece Mystery “Grantchester.” And, we’ll honor the legendary rock ’n’ roll singer-songwriter Billy Joel as recipient of the Gershwin Prize.

KET’s many accomplishments and programming are made possible by your support. We thank you and wish you and your family a Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO 22

Dykes receives O. Leonard Press Award Ashland’s Mary “Deede” Dykes, a Friends Board member since 2002, has received the 2013-14 O. Leonard Press Award. Established in honor of KET’s founder, it recognizes individuals who provide exemplary volunteer service.

Dykes has volunteered at KET events including the Dykes and Press Kentucky State Fair, St. James Court Art Show, and Super Saturday. She also has advocated on behalf of KET at numerous “Friends Day at the Capitol” events with members of the Kentucky General Assembly. In addition, Dykes also has spread the word about KET in her hometown, hosting several special events in Ashland. She also regularly supports KET by attending the annual Summer Celebration. She taught social studies for 27 years, mainly at Ashland’s Paul Blazer High School.

KET’s external affirs director Julie Schmidt said, “Deede’s contributions to KET through her years as a loyal volunteer have been invaluable. She possesses an amazing spirit and brings her tremendous enthusiasm to everything she does as a Friend of KET.’

Students travel to KET for ‘NewsHour’ video production training In November, KET welcomed students from four high schools for the PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Lab, a nationwide project that gives teenagers interested in broadcast journalism an opportunity to produce pieces for the PBS NewsHour.

The 42 students — from Pleasure Ridge Park High School in Louisville; John Hardin, Central Hardin, and North Hardin high schools in Hardin County; and Trigg County High School are among more than 80 schools participating.

During the daylong visit, members of KET’s production and education divisions provided workshops in effective interview techniques, video production, and green-screen technology. KET staff also provides ongoing mentoring for students, and one of Pleasure Ridge Park’s videos about the fall election has already been featured on air and in a NewsHour blog post.
