Optimal use of video resources as an integral part of instruction in K-12 public schools has been hampered by the difficulty teachers experience in obtaining video materials that meet specific instructional meeds, and obtaining access to video equipment. A project conducted by the Georgia Department of Education in the late 1970's demonstrated that utilization of instructional television (ITV) materials increased if teachers were given input into the selection and scheduling of ITV programming. Since that time, the use of broadcast in Georgia as a means of resource distribution instead of resource scheduling has given teachers greater flexibility in the selection of instructional video resources. Two limiting factors remain: and inability on the part of the teachers to determine which video meets specific instructional needs and a lack of video equipment in the classroom. The Georgia Department of Education and the Clarke County School System will develop and implement a model project which demonstrates that optimal video utilization is achieved if teachers are provided: 1) easy access to video equipment in the classroom, 2) video materials that support their instructional needs, and 3) instruction in the use of video materials and the operation of video equipment. This project will equip each math and science classroom in Clarke County with a videocassette recorder and television monitor, provide each school with a collection of math and science video resources, and provide teachers with a comprehensive video index, and development in the utilization of video resources. The project will measure and compare level of video usage before and after classrooms are equipped with easily accessible equipment. That quality video materials increase learning has been documented. The potential for improving teaching and learning through the use of new technologies has also been demonstrated. However, the demands of the classroom teachers tend to preclude their taking the steps now necessary to utilize the technologies. This project will provide a model as well as documentation that teachers want and will use improved methods of instruction if unreasonable demands are not made in order to use the methods. The final results can be used as arguments for those making policy decisions for expending more resources on new teaching technologies.

作为K-12公立学校教学的一个组成部分，最佳利用视频资源受到了阻碍，因为教师在获取符合特定教学要求的视频材料和获得视频设备方面遇到了困难。佐治亚州教育部在20世纪70年代末进行的一项项目表明，如果让教师参与选择和安排教学电视节目，就会增加对教学电视材料的利用。从那时起，在佐治亚州使用广播作为一种资源分配手段，而不是资源调度，使教师在选择教学视频资源方面有了更大的灵活性。两个限制因素仍然存在：教师无法确定哪种视频满足特定的教学需求，以及教室中缺乏视频设备。佐治亚州教育部和克拉克县学校系统将开发和实施一个示范项目，证明如果向教师提供：1)课堂上容易获得视频设备，2)支持他们的教学需求的视频材料，以及3)视频材料的使用和视频设备的操作，则实现最佳视频利用。该项目将为克拉克县的每个数理教室配备录像机和电视监视器，为每个学校提供数理视频资源集合，为教师提供全面的视频索引，并在视频资源的利用方面进行开发。该项目将测量和比较教室配备方便使用的设备前后的视频使用水平。高质量的视频材料有助于学习，这一点已经被记录在案。通过使用新技术改善教与学的潜力也已得到证明。然而，课堂教师的需求往往使他们无法采取现在必要的步骤来利用这些技术。该项目将提供教师想要的范本和文件，并将在没有提出不合理要求的情况下使用改进的教学方法来使用这些方法。最终结果可以作为那些在新的教学技术上投入更多资源的决策制定者的论据。
