TEACHERS and TIMSS - live interactive math forum
On Tuesday, April 28, join the Annenberg/CPB Channel and your colleagues
across the country for a provocative LIVE discussion on the Third
International Math and Science Study (TIMSS). Using TIMSS video footage
of mathematics classrooms around the world, participants will
investigate
some of the differences this study identified in the way mathematics is
taught in the United States, Japan and Germany. Dr. Alfred Mannister
from the University of California San Diego will serve as content guide.
You can participate in TEACHERS and TIMSS live, from 3:15 - 4:15 p.m.
(eastern) and share your ideas, questions, and observations on-line or
by
email or fax.
For more information, contact Nicole Stark at 1-800-556-4376 ext.753 or
email channel@learner.org.
The Channel is produced by Harvard University and the Smithsonian
Institution in partnership with the Massachusetts Corporation for
Educational Telecommunications (MCET), and funded by the Annenberg/CPB
Math and Science Project.

*Viewing the Forum:
Like all Annenberg/CPB Channel programming, this forum is FREE. Consult
the media specialist in your school, district, college, or university to
find out if you have the equipment ÃÂ General Instruments Digicypher II,
Model 4200V (SCPC format) ÃÂ to receive the Annenberg/CPB Channel. Also,
some public access cable stations and public television stations offer
the Channel1s programs to their communities, so if your school does not
have the digital equipment, check with your local stations.

*Receiving the Channel's satellite signal
The Channel's satellite coordinates are Galaxy K4, 99 degrees West
Longitude, Transponder 12 - Horizontal Polarity, Downlink Frequency:

is the only satellite receiver system that will support the reception of
the Annenberg/CPB Channel.
First time users will have to register this equipment in advance with
MCET, the Channel's broadcast network (800-556-4376x790). You will not
