TLC elementary school. The series is designed by teachers for teachers to unfold the wonders of the world while keeping the learning styles of primary aged children in mind. Because each program is divided into short segments, teachers can choose what parts to incorporate into their existing lesson plans. Support resources for the series are available on the Discovery Channel School's online site. In one of the segments on this videotape, students can see the different parts of a computer and how information is converted to digital form to be stored or moved from one area to another.
Viewers can learn how the Internet was first established and how it has evolved through time.
Douglas Englebart is seen in two segments, one in which he is interviewed as the inventor of the mouse and another as one of the first participants in the Internet. Scientists are seen in the video using computers to gather and interpret weather information and to design robots that can accomplish human kinds of movement. The online program guide contains a segment overview, academic standards, and activities for each of the video segments. One extension activity that helps the students understand the complexities of programming a robot, asks them to form groups with one member designated as the robot. The robot can only move according to the directions given by the other members of the group.
