Some people said that history channel, discovery channel and documentaries. So, I am going to tell about History Channel.

The History Channel, part of A&E Television Networks, is a 24-hour-a-day programming service that began broadcasting in January 1995. It features original documentaries, special miniseries, and historical movies in its nightly prime time schedule. Part of the History Channel's mission is to raise awareness about the vitality of history, promote history education, and encourage the preservation of historic archives and sites.


According to Libby Haight O’Connell who is the historical consultant for A&E Television Networks and the History Channel, although the History Channel is aimed at a general audience, a number of its programs are excellent resources for senior high school and undergraduate history studies. The History Channel also produces Year by Year for Kids, aimed at elementary school children. Along with animated history narratives, such as Christopher ColumbusThe North Americans, and The Discoverers, it composes the History for Kids time block on Saturday mornings. 
Therefore, I think that History Channel has a lot of information with education for young adults. I think the TV program can probably help children learn about in depth issues that their parents may not have knowledge about. Also, History Classroom,which is a part of History Channel, show that how to guide for schools and communities. Also, there is a lot of feature topics ,so if children are curious something, they can visit History Channel site as much as they can.   
That is review of History Channel Classroom.

The Classroom Calendar shows six months of programming information so that teachers can prepare programs and lessons to go along with the programs to be shown on The History Channel Classroom.
Teachers are permitted to tape the programs that are shown specifically for teachers, commercial-free. The concept was created so that teachers had tools to use in the classroom to make it more exciting and rewarding. The History Channel's website has tips for teachers such as cataloging the tapes by subject matter or creating a video log of specific segments so that they may use the programs more effectively. The typical program has the dates and times of showing, a vocabulary list, discussion questions and ideas for research projects. The site suggests that teachers of subjects other than history could use the materials for lessons as well. All necessary materials are available here so look over the site and start planning. 

According to City Data site showed that the best educational TV program is History.

  1. I think that when we include television as part of our children's education, we sometimes lose sight of the fact that we still need to monitor the children as well as the content. We also need to monitor ourselves for our own abuse of the medium, as a baby sitter.
    If we keep a balance then it is a very helpful tool. When we substitute our time with them, using television, it defeats the intended purpose.

    1. Thank you your reply. I know TV has many benefits. But, children watch TV long time it will be bad influence. I agree with you. We have to monitor ourselves and children as a baby sitter

  2. I love your analysis of the subject. You have lots of detail, great sources and good looking charts. However, I think there's an over-abundance of color which made some things hard to read as well as some strange highlighting included in the post. I would suggest less random coloring of text and keep it all within one palate of color.
