Conclusion: Final Thoughts
For better or worse, DTV is coming. Now's the time for us to think of the possibilities: What can DTV do for education?
- Spread the word. Get your colleagues and local leaders to think about DTV as a purveyor of educational and community content.
- Talk to your PBS station. All 348 stations are getting ready for digital. Let them know how you want it to be used in your town.
- Dream up revolutionary ideas. DTV will only be as powerful as the people who come up with the content. Tell your TV stations what you think.
