“Homework Hotline Live!” is a service of MCPS Instructional TV. During each program, three teachers are on camera, while several more answer telephone calls in the phone room at the Carver Educational Services Center studio in Rockville. Students serve as part of the technical crew and are trained by Instructional TV staff.
Students and families can use this service even if they do not subscribe to cable television. By calling, a student will be connected to a teacher who can provide assistance in most academic subjects from kindergarten through 12th grade. Viewers with cable service will be able to watch the program and also work with on camera teachers to help them formulate answers.
While most questions come from elementary and middle school students, “Hotline” teachers represent all levels and most subject areas. Mathematics questions are the most frequent, and there is usually a certified mathematics instructor on staff during cablecasts.
In addition to direct instruction, each program includes various learning experiences such as current events summaries and video clips. The program also features fun trivia and prizes for answering challenging “brainteaser” questions from MCPS students. So join the fun, and get homework done. |
