ABOUT THE ITV SCHEDULE
In affiliation with Idaho Public Television, the Idaho State Department of Education
provides this service at no charge to Idaho school districts. The ITV broadcasts are
carried by Idaho Public Television stations KAID-TV (Channel 4) in Boise, KISU-TV
(Channel 10) in Pocatello, and KUID-TV (Channel 12) in Moscow. In addition, the
Idaho Public Television signal can be received on almost every cable television system
in the state, as well as on a great many translator stations.
Guide Arrangement. The ITV Guide begins with a Table of Contents, which lists the
programs by subject area. The Table of Contents will be helpful in locating desired
sections of the Guide, e.g., Discontinued Programs. The body of the ITV Guide is
arranged by subject area, with an alphabetical index at the end of the guide to assist in
locating particular programs. Each program page provides a brief description of the
series, and the titles of each episode in the series. The exact broadcast times are
published in a calendar format and mailed every two months during the school year
(see below).
Other important sections of the guide are described as follows:
Blockfeed Broadcast Schedule (not part of the guide). To make the use of ITV
programming easier and more effective, programs are being distributed only via
overnight "blockfeeds," in which a number of episodes of a series are broadcast back-
to-back. These blockfeeds allow schools to tape an entire series at one time or over
several sequential blockfeed days, depending upon the length of the series. This
allows educators to consolidate many episodes of a series onto one tape. The VCR's
counter number can index program episodes after they are recorded, making them
much easier to find on the tape for later use. One advantage to recording the programs
overnight is that it will free up school VCRs for use during the day.
Teachers can keep tapes in the library during the school year for ready access, so the
program may be used when desired. Ultimately, teachers may then include the
instructional video in their lesson or unit plans according to their own schedule.
To reiterate, blockfeeds will be scheduled each Wednesday (?), and Thursday and
Friday from 1:00 to 5:30 a.m. (Mountain Time) (midnight to 4:30 a.m. Pacific
Time). It is critical to note that the blockfeed times are from 1:00 to 5:30 a.m.
(Mountain). Educators wishing to tape a feed will need to remember to set their VCRs
on Tuesday afternoon to tape the programs which will be aired early Wednesday
morning, and so on for each of the blockfeed days.

of Education.
Other Educational Programming. Other educational programs, such as "Sesame
Street," "Nova," "Square One," and "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" are

programming is made available by Idaho Public Television and is not scheduled by the
State Department of Education. For information on educational programs broadcast
days and evenings, consult your daily television guide or the Idaho Public Television
membership magazine, Idaho Channels. All schools should be receiving this
publication at no charge, but it is also possible for individual teachers to receive limited
subscriptions at no charge. Another source of information is the magazine, Teacher
Connex, which is available by subscription for $15. Contact Lynn Allen at 373-7220 for
further information.
Teacher Guides. Guides available through distributors.

THE ROAD TO COLLEGE - 1998 EDITION
Guidance
Grades: 10 - Adult
Length: 60 minutes
Series Distributor: EPS
Columbia, SC 803-799-5517
This hour-long program is about the entire college application process. It is designed for high school students
and their parents. The "how-to" portion will walk the viewer through the college process with an emphasis
on financial aid. The interviews and testimonials provide inspiration for those likely to be overwhelmed by
the process. The program follows a fictional high school student and his parents through this college process,
from high school to the university. We see the problems in selecting a college, applying to several colleges,
filling out forms and from the family perspective, facing tuition costs. This drama is light in tone and each
brief scene is intended to introduce new topics. First-hand testimonials from college students and interviews
with professionals are included.
