About This Site

The teacher's role in the classroom has dramatically changed the last twenty years. Instead of paper, pencils, and chalkboards, many schools have moved toward 1:1 classrooms, online videos, and apps.

IPTV's Classroom Connection site is an educational service to help teachers work in this new environment making it easier for educators to find and use high quality, innovative resources and gain access to timely, relevant news on the current trends in education.

Contact IPTV to consult with an education specialist about specific resources.

In addition to programs developed specifically for educators, many programs from Iowa Public Television's prime-time schedule are used in classrooms across the state. These programs are made possible by the contributions of Iowa Public Television supporters.
