KCPT Hosts Learn360 Training Event

Area teachers learn how to engage students with KCPT's Learn360 service.

KCPT hosted the first Learn360 training event in the Kansas City area on October 17 and 18 at the Richardson Training and Learning Center located in the Kansas City Public School District.  The two-day event, led by Anne Feldkamp, Director of Business Development & Content Acquisitions, trained over 55 teachers that were a part of the Science 21 and Math 21 grant. Twenty-five of the 55 teachers will be receiving one-hour credit through UMKC.  The training will continue to include six 30-minute live webinars and a follow up workshop has been planned for February 26, 2013 at Richardson.

Learn360 is a fee-based video streaming product that can be acquired through KCPT.  Currently KCPT has 42 school districts in Kansas and Missouri that are members of Learn360.

Musical Menagerie: KC Symphony Petting Zoo

We tag along at the Kansas City Symphony Instrument Petting Zoo which travels to area classrooms to give elementary students the opportunity to see and hear the different instruments of the orchestra.

You’ve heard of a petting zoo, but what about an instrument petting zoo? It’s one of the Kansas City Symphony’s outreach projects designed to get younger kids up close and personal with the instruments of the orchestra.

Area Schools can sign up for the Kansas City Symphony Instrument Petting Zoo.

Because of extensive demand for this engaging program, it is preferred that second, third, and fourth grade students have the first opportunity to receive its benefits. Visits to classrooms are available for either morning or afternoon during one of the seven weeks listed.

Zoos will be filled in the order requests & signed contracts are received, with no request considered less than one week prior to the Zoo date. A maximum of three 45-minute sections may be held during one visit, with each section ideally consisting of no more than 80 students.
