Background Challenges/Opportunities Faced by LAUSD

Core Curriculum Implementation

• Ready or not here it comes!

• New format may hurt performance due to lack of comfort and familiarity with the technology.

Laptop Distribution

• Students will need to learn (1) how to use the devices for editing (2) how to navigate the digital world safety and responsibly.

• Highly visible initiative.

Changing Students

• Students are active learners and are demanding more hands on/interactive experiences with immediate feedback.

KLCS Underused Capacity KLCS

• Station could be a focal point to improve communication between constituents and stake holders.

Benefits of 90 Minutes TV Pilot & subsequent programs can address issues and concerns before and after launch.

Content creation and on-line components will encourage the use of technology in ways that may be new to some students.

Hands-on nature is consistent with the changing nature of students.
