1950s
Television reached the level
where it could be seen as
having the capacity to change
teaching.

All that was needed was

the production of a set of
programs to cover the
school curriculum.

There were two things that

fuelled the belief in the
immense potential of
educational television.

SPUTNI

The US perception that

its school system was
holding the country
back.

notable use of educational
television in American
Samoa.

Roughly only 2%
of the teachers in
schools (in the US)
were using
television when I
entered the room.

Larry Cuban

In around
1964, we had
TVs in each
classroom.
They were
rarely used,
maybe once a
year.
