After speaking
with my media specialist she addressed the questions. South Cobb High School
does have a video distribution system on campus. The system works very well I
use it weekly for our Eagle TV broadcast. Most of the faculty can access our
broadcast by tuning into channel 5 on their TV sets or projectors. Media
specialist has access to 4 video distribution feeds, 1 for Eagle TV, and 1 for
a network channel and 2 for DVD playback for classes. The 2 channel feeds for
DVD playback aren’t used much anymore because most classrooms are equipped with
media playback devices. The 1 feed for network channels is only used when a
huge event is happening and/or a teacher would like a specific available for
viewing in the classroom. I also, use my Eagle TV channel feed for special
PowerPoint or video announcement that administration would like looped
throughout the day. During open house I will also loop past Eagle TV broadcast
for our parents and community to see while touring the building. Teachers don’t
have control over the distribution system they can only request access to a
certain channels for educational use. My mentor has no knowledge of the ability
to transfer TV content over the data network.
The Georgia
Public Broadcasting (GPB) Resources are great tools for educational use. Our
media specialist will give faculty and staff a how to guide to set-up an
individual account. Then the teacher will use the GPB Resources as they choose.
I like all the featured offered on the GOB Resources site. I will make an effort
to use this in my TV Broadcast class in the future.
