If the kids say the school wants a
satellite dish — and they might some
day — don’t look in the cupboard for
something along that line to donate.
A satellite dish has nothing to do
with regular dishes. Also called a
down-link, it has nothing to do with
cuff, fence or golf links either.
A satellite dish is part of the equip
ment in one of the new communica
tion technologies making audio
visual waves around the school-
house. The technologies will give
new flexibility to instructional televi
sion — I-T-V, as it’s called.
The “dish” catches beams — sig
nals — from satellites. It looks like a
dish — but the diameter on a small
one is three feet.
Kentucky Education Television,
for one, is preparing to perch small
satellite dishes — receivers — atop
every school in that state and to pur
chase a full-time satellite channel de
dicated to delivering instructional
television materials to schools.
Satellite dish is just one phrase in
the new communication technolo
gies you need to know to keep up
with what’s going on — or going to go
on — in the schoolhouse.
Add these other words: videodisc,
cable, videotape recorder.
I-T-V consists of series designed to
teach specific subjects. Many of the
packaged programs are produced
under the aegis of Agency for In
structional Television, a consortium
of education departments in Canada
and the United States.
About 15 million students, kinder
garten to grade 12, learn some from
instructional television programs
during a school day. But there are
I-T-V programs for all ages and types
of learners, including postsecondary
and adult learners.
Topics range from reading to math
to counseling and anthropology.
But that’s not all. Nearly half-a-
million students are enrolled in
courses offered by intructional tele
vision in colleges and universities,
the National Center for Education
Statistics reports.
Taxpayers can cheer about satel
lites in I-T-V. Insiders say the satel
lites provide a means of transmitting
signals across great distances and
avoid the need for complex systems
of land-based relays.
The result: a major decrease in the
cost of long distance, multiple-
channel transmission.
Present satellite receiyinc emijp-
ment -r- down-links —- are relatively • •
complex and cbstly. Small, simpler
and much less costly down-links are
being used successfully for at-home
reception in several countries.
A report from “Television Is for
Learning,” an information program
from the Public Broadcasting Ser
vice and th Corporation for Public
Broadcasting, said:
“These smaller, three-feet in dia
meter receiving dishes will soon be
available in the United States for
both home and institutional use.’’
Three other payoffs from satellite
communications expected to impact
on the classroom:
— Videoconferencing: Twoway
visual links between several parties
separated by substantial distances. A
wide variety of educational, medical
and business teleconferences have
been conducted over the past two
years.
— Dissemination of educational
materials to numerous interested
parties on a regional or national
basis.
— Dissemination of specialized
materials to people who are widely
dispersed and-or situated in relative
geographic isolation. That is the
problem Kentucky Education Tele
vision hopes to solve with satellite
receivers on school tops.
About those other words and sys
tems you’ll need to know — in addi
tion to satellite dish — as alternative
delivery systems from the new tech
nologies become generally available:
comes part of the instruction. Stu
dents at Edward R. Murrow High in
Brooklyn, N.Y., for one example,
have gone into the surgical suite of a
New York city hospital and taped
operations. Prairie High students in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, working with
Kirkwood Comunity College, pro
duced 1,500 videotapes covering
aspects of vocational education. Stu
dents use phones to request tapes
stored at Kirkwood. Media person
nel inform student of correct channel
to monitor, then transmits tape. Af
ter viewing tapes, students demons
trate to teacher they learned infor
mation on the tape. Tape topics
range from auto mechanics to draft
ing, electronics, potteryi
woodworking.

— Videotape recorder and play
back units: The rapid rise in consum
er popularity of the small format 1/2-
in. videotape cassette recorders
brings with it a shift in control away
from the broadcaster and towards
the classrom teacher. In many
schools, teachers have I-T-V prog
rams recorded off the air and, at
some later time, fit them into a more
apropriate time and sequence for
that classroom. Up to six hours of
instructional programming may be
stored on one Vh-in. video cassette.
Small format recorders, relatively in
expensive, are steadily being purch
ased for home use. It is conceiveable
the classroom might be expanded
into the living room. How this would
work: student checks out pre

home, plays it, studies.

SAN ANTONIO — Because of the
Soviet Union’s increasing sophistica
tion in nuclear and chemical warfare,
the Air Force is considering dressing
its pilots in charcoal-lined flight
suits, hoods and nuclear flash gog
gles.
At Brooks Air Force Base, head
quarters for the Aerospace Medical
Division, scientists already have de
veloped what they call “PLZT, gog
gles made of electro-optically active,
crystalline material.
The bizarre goggles will "close’’ at
a sudden flash, such as from a hyd
rogen bomb, and reopen a split
second later to prevent a pilot from
being blinded by a nuclear flash.
They make the pilot resemble a crea
ture from outer space as portrayed in
science fiction movies.
Col. Donald I. Carter, director of
research and development, said the
futuristic pilot’s wear represents one
of several directions the Aerospace
Medical Division is going to enhance
American pilots’ survival in combat
during the next decade.
The division already is planning
the direction of its medical and bio
technology efforts over the next 5 to
10 years, Carter said. The keystones
