The Futures Channel

The following is from The Futures Channel site, who can explain what they do a lot better than I could (bold emphasis is mine, because I could not resist):

The Futures Channel was founded in 1999 with the goal of using new
media technologies to create a channel between the scientists,
engineers, explorers and visionaries who are shaping the future, and
today’s learners
who will one day succeed them.

The Mission of The Futures Channel:

To
produce and distribute high quality multimedia content which educators
in any setting can use to enliven curriculum, engage students and
otherwise enhance the learning experience.

To connect
mathematics, science, technology and engineering to the real world of
careers and achievement
, so that students can envision a context and
purpose for what they are learning allowing them to envision their own
successful futures. 

To provide a channel through which
professionals from the sciences, engineering and technology sectors can
reach their future workforce prospects and interest them
in their
fields.

A couple of testimonials, also from The Futures Channel site:

“There are over 3 million teachers in America who face the
challenge of relating what they are teaching to the real world. They
are expected to be able to effectively answer the questions: ‘When will
I ever use this?’ The Futures Channel is going to help them answer that
question.”

Dr. Milton Chen,
Executive Director,
The George Lucas Educational Foundation

“More and more, my students beg to see what Futures Channel has for
the week. It’s not only a part of my lesson, but it’s a treat for the
class. I use it as a reward. Thank you for bringing such exciting,
informative and captivating programs right into our classroom.”
