As you know well, technology has dramatically changed classrooms — even in just the last decade.

Computers, smartboards, and tablets have become an ever-more integral part of instruction. But these are just devices. It’s the content a teacher chooses — to demonstrate a concept, to engage student involvement, to appeal to varying learning styles — that ultimately makes technology effective and enhances learning.

That is why we’re dedicated to creating and delivering the highest quality, standards-based resources.

From being a leading content producer for PBS LearningMedia to providing entire distance learning courses through our Online Campus, KET ensures schools throughout Kentucky have equal access to proven, dynamic content and classroom instruction.

As KET approaches its 50th anniversary, it makes me proud to know that serving the needs of students and educators remains a pillar of our mission.

Our staff of teachers, content producers, and in-the-field education consultants are committed to ensuring educators across Kentucky have easy access to the resources they need to bring learning to life every day.

I hope this will be a safe, happy, and successful year for you and your students. As always, we are deeply appreciative of your work to educate young Kentuckians and honored to be your trusted classroom partner.

Do your students have a story to tell? KET wants to hear it! Each spring, the KET Young Writers Contest encourages children to submit stories and poems for a statewide competition.

Check out previous winners at KET.org/writerscontest, and look for contest guidelines in February 2018.

An ideal way to engage students in learning is through video projects. The KET School Video Project encourages Kentucky K-12 students to give video production a try. Submit school news programs, documentaries, art or music videos, PSAs—the only limit is your students’ imaginations!
