A happy Woodlin ES student gets a free Homework Hotline Live! poster at a MCPS event.
Homework Hotline Live!
is back for its 23rd season on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays from 5:00 to 6:00pm, starting October 15, 2008.
The ITV flagship program provides K-12 students one-on-one
homework help when they call the hotline number at 301-279-3234
(Voice/TTY).
Homework Hotline Live! (HHL) is a service of MCPS Instructional
TV and is broadcast from the Carver Educational Services
Center studio in Rockville. During the program, MCPS
teachers take calls from students live on-the-air and
assist them with homework problems, while additional
teachers answer calls in the phone room. Students serve
as part of the technical crew and are trained by Instructional
TV staff.
By calling, a student will be connected
to a teacher who can provide assistance in most academic
subjects from kindergarten through 12th grade. Mathematics
questions are the most frequent, and there will typically
be a certified math instructor on staff during each
show. Cable TV viewers will be able to watch the program
live as they work with on-air teachers who help them
formulate answers. Students and families can use this
service even if they do not subscribe to cable television.
In addition to direct instruction,
each program includes various learning experiences
such as current events summaries and video clips. The
show also features fun trivia and prizes for answering
challenging “brainteaser” questions given
by MCPS students.
So join the fun, and get homework
done with Homework Hotline Live!
