Global Schoolhouse on ABC News World News Now: The First Ever Internet-TV BroadcastOn November 23, 1995, the ABC News overnight program World News Now, where I was a broadcast producer, was the first to stream television live over the internet. The proof-of-concept project used a donated, dedicated T-1 line and a beta-testing video-conference software developed by Cornell University.
The idea for the experiment occurred to me nearly a year earlier, when I saw that our CBS competition was airing the first television reviews I had ever seen of World Wide Web sites. Watching that segment on CBS, an idea came to me with a single, simple thought: The new medium that was emerging before our eyes was already bigger than television; so, instead of putting the internet on television, we should put television on the internet.
To accomplish this, we partnered with the Global Schoolhouse (now GlobalSchoolNet.org), where Yvonne Andres was using the internet to connect youngsters in classrooms around the world, as part of an educational outreach program. She had access to the latest innovations in video conferencing software, and she was excited about the idea of showing what it could do.
Most of us were still using telephone modems to connect to the internet at a tiny fraction of the speed we consider standard today, but they didn’t provide the reliability or the bandwidth needed to stream audio and video around the world. White Pine Software, which was preparing a commercial version of Cornell’s video conferencing program, offered to provide a T1 line (the “gold standard” of connectivity at the time) to help us prove the potential of internet broadcasting.

Meet-the-Expert: Evidence-Based Storytelling by Dan BennettConnecting students with industry experts increases their understanding and perspective of how to communicate with an audience via storytelling. Storytelling skills are valuable whether you are reporting about forest health, scientific issues, or creating films for Disney and Pixar. Journalistic nonfiction and creative fiction are often similar in storytelling craft. Participants will learn the connection between basic journalism and digital film storytelling, including a look at Pixar as an outstanding storytelling model. Participants will learn about evidence-based journalism through traditional storytelling techniques, including the significance of a lead sentence (news, feature and news-feature), "inverted pyramid" story flow, data usage, quotes, and human-interest. Participants will learn how to use the American mythologist/philosopher Joseph Campbell's model of "The Hero's Journey" as a template.

*Dan Bennett, Founder Director, Children’s International Film Festivals, Guest Speaker

Earth Day 2020 Meet-the-Experts Interactive Webinar: The MAP of the Grand Canyons of La JollaThe Walter Munk Foundation for the Oceans has an exciting new project to share with the world on this historic 50th Anniversary Earthday! Their team of scientists and educators are preparing to launch an online component to “The MAP of the Grand Canyons of La Jolla” which has just been installed in San Diego. This unique giant tile masterpiece features over 100 life-sized creatures found swimming in the waters just offshore, and information about each one. Creating educational content to be enjoyed by students across the globe, The MAP curricula will teach about the physics of wave dynamics, the importance of Marine Protected Areas, and the delicate ecosystem balance at play in the species-rich kelp forests off California and beyond. Youth will connect with 3 experts involved in The MAP to learn about their unique areas of interest, from small fishes to seahorses to whales.
Connecting students with field experts increases their understanding and perspective about how simple choices we make on land have a direct impact on ocean animals. We all rely on the ocean, whether we live close to it or not, in ways that might surprise us. This webinar shares cutting-edge marine research with students who may become interested in STEM fields, and illuminate a path to becoming a good ocean steward.
