Happy Monday Morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Detroit Public Television\/PBS recognizes that not all students have access to technology and are working hard to engage students. In addition to publishing their daily newsletter<\/a> that provides daily learning activities for families, they will be shifting their programming tomorrow \u2013 Monday, March 30th<\/sup> \u2013 to provide educational broadcast content for K-12 students on Channel 56. They are also providing additional learning resources designed to complement and extend the learning (see attached).<\/p>\n\n\n\n From 7 a.m. until 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, DPTV will offer blocks of programming geared to specific age groups \u2013 early childhood, middle school and high school \u2013 on its main broadcast channel (56.1), in collaboration with Michigan\u2019s public television stations and the national PBS system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While Michigan schools are closed this school year, DPTV\u2019s weekday programming will be as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n DPTV\u2019s schedule during those hours will be filled with PBS programming that aligns to curriculum goals, with online learning activities<\/a> associated with each show.
