Project Overview
The award-winning History Live! program served more than 8,400 students in FY16, bringing the total number of students served since the program's launch to more than 37,000. In FY17, the Interactive Video Conferencing studio was updated to incorporate new technologies, reduce costs and meet customer needs.
History Live! is working in partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council to launch a new lesson that integrates student use of handheld technology with the interactive program. And working in partnership with the Maud Hart Youth Reading Award, two new event programs that feature Maud Hart Lovelace will launch and encourage student literacy throughout the state. Within MNHS, the History Live! program worked with the K-12 programs and services team to develop 20 webinars for teachers across the state. In FY17, 20 live and recorded webinars are scheduled for teachers to support professional development. Additionally, the platform is being used to prototype a new program, History Today, which will serve seniors living in assisted living facilities.
