Also check with district or regional media centers to see if they can provide you access to the programs. If you cannot receive the programs by live means, programming is available on video tape for an additional charge.

Many of our programs are also available by web cast.

For live programs, you will also want students to have access to a computer with email capabilities and a telephone to call the toll-free number and talk with the subject experts.
